Credit bureaus here belong to the same parent companies as the US ones, but operate independently. Conversations with US expats in the past have lead me to believe that your credit history will not carry over.
And, as mentioned, Canada is quite culturally diverse. The attitudes and customs prevalent in Vancouver are quite different from those in Edmonton, which vary still more from those in Toronto. The bulk of our Canadian crowd on TFP hails from in or around Toronto, but we do have a couple of westerners as well. Give us an idea of where you want to live or what you're looking for, and we can tell you a bit more about what to expect.
For the rest, I'd say get an immigration lawyer. We can answer culture questions, but fine details on the procedural stuff is better left to a professional.
