By Stephanie Andrews
If you want to apply for a Canadian credit card, there are a number of ways to do so. The easiest, by far, however, is the online application option. If you haven't considered applying online before, now is a good time to do so. Here are three reasons to look into applying online for a Canadian credit card.
So Many Options
Canadian Credit Card Application
You'll find a wide array of credit card options available on the Internet. You can go to different sites and read through detailed descriptions of each card. When you find a card that looks like it might work out well for your situation, you can head to review sites and read even more about it. These sites give you details that you won't pick up on the advertisements that come in the mail.
The Internet is full of information on many subjects, and the ins and outs of credit cards are no exception. There you'll find what you need to know about interest rates, reward options, additional benefits, and the various fees involved. You can even find tips on how to manage a credit card well.
Anytime, Anywhere

One of the benefits of the online application is that you can fill it out at a time that's most convenient for you. Since the Internet has websites that are open literally around the clock, you'll find that you can get online and apply at any hour of the day.
Many applications list the information you'll need to include in order to apply. You can read through this and then take the time to gather the things you need. Doing so will make the application process go even faster.
You can also be anywhere when you apply. As long as you have access to the Internet, you can look through the card options available. If you're on a public computer, however, try to avoid giving out your personal information. Do so from your home PC.
Faster, all around
When you apply online, you often can know within minutes of submitting the application whether or not you have been approved. This is much faster than sending the application in through the mail system. It saves you weeks of waiting to find out where you stand.
Once you have been approved for the Canadian credit card, the actual plastic will be sent to you through the mail. When you receive it, you may have to activate it. You'll then be ready to start using the card.
Even after you have the card, you can continue to monitor your account through the Internet. Simply log in to your account and you can access your monthly statements. These will let you know how much you owe and where you stand with rewards.
Whether you want to get another Canadian credit card to add to your collection or are looking for the first time, applying online is the fastest, most convenient way to find a credit card. You'll find the information you need to make a smart decision, and you'll find out whether or not you've been approved right away. All of these make turning on the computer and getting online seem so worthwhile when it comes to Canadian credit cards.

I have credit/debit cards for Canada, and the US. All you need is money in the bank, pick a bank it does not matter…and you do need a Canadian address. Also you need ID to prove who you are and your address. It may be necessary to get an ID card from the MTO sort of like a drivers lic but not quite…more like just your name and address…at least that is what I had to do to get my card in Tn. If your family is back in Canada, you must be living somewhere, use that address. This address will be used to mail your statements to and mail your credit card to, so make sure that it is an address that you trust. You can use a family members maybe. Once you have started using your card and made a good impression at the bank..you can then ask to have the statements mailed to your main address in the States…hopefully they will comply.
I’m wondering if you have an American Express card. If you do, and your account is in good-standing, tell them your situation. Say that you recently moved and that you want to open a new AMEX account in the US. See what they have to say… I only say this because they are not a bank-specific credit card company; AMEX is global.

American resident with both Canadian and US citizenship and I want to acquire a Canadian Credit card.?
My Family is back in Canada, including my children, and I’d like to acquire a credit card so I can use it with my kids but every application only wants my Canadian address. I have no intention of moving back but travel to Canada quite often.
I know I can use my US cards as well but I have reasons behind what I’m doing…had some issues with my ex running up my cards.
Does anyone know of a way, legally of course, that I can acquire a Canadian credit card with a US address?
Using strong Canadian credit history for US cards or balance transfer?
I am looking for US banks that can check Canadian credit history, or Canadian banks that can mail credit offers to the US. I have A+ Canadian credit history but I now live in the US, and I’m a US citizen.
I have heard that Bank of America will check Canadian credit history for US cards and have an application in. Does anyone know of any others? I am looking for low interest (10% or lower hopefully) or low interest balance transfers.

Canadian credit card approval by credit score?
At which credit score do financial institutions start approving credit card applications? If my FICO credit score is low and don’t already have a credit card who should i apply to so I don’t start taking hits on my credit? Is there any kind of guide online that shows financial institutions criteria by credit score acceptance that i can look at to see which would have the best rates and bonuses?
