Dear Canadian friends,

So, I have decided it might be nice to be Canadian. In doing so i have begun looking up things about Canada. It occured to me in this endeavor that you can learn alot from books and documents, but sometimes more from experienced people. I certainly trust the resident TFP posters more than random websites.

I understand I will need to move to Canada and become a permanent resident first. Getting a passport is no issue for my family and I. I also see that you need to be a PR for 3 years prior to applying for citizenship.

I am curious about regions and areas. Culture. I've found some guides, but it seems as with most things on the net, lots of different and conflicting accounts. Not sure who to believe, lol.

How does the credit system work in Canada? Is it still the credit bureaus in the US? Does my credit rating/information from here translate or do i start over? This was vague in the documents i found.

Any suggestions or information you can divulge that may be of more assistance or well learned experience is greatly appreciated.
