how can a canadian establish us credit score
user
1) the easy way is to find a job and they will assign you an ssn.  2) here's the hard way.  if you're canadian, open a td boarderless account in the u.s.  put a small investment into any investment that would generate some type of income, such as capital gain, dividends, interest and etc...  then you will need to file a us tax return to declare your income if you receive u.s. tax slips (although you're likely below the min filing requirement) at year end.  to file a u.s. tax return, you may  need what's called an itin or individual tax id number.  with the itin, you can get credit from the us td boarderless account (only).  consider getting a prepaid us credit card with the td account to futher build credit at that specific bank.  it's not much credit, but you do start with creating a history.
