SSN Question

[americag1234 0]

When you get your SSN number from US, do you know if they look at your credit from Canada at all? Or is it like you are getting new credit in the US with your new SSN?

The SSN in the US is different than the SIN in Canada. You may want to look up some of the differences between them both.

And no, the Social Security Administration is not really concerned about your Canadian Credit nor does it want to go out of it's way to find out. You will have to build credit again in the US like you are a kid all over again. However, there are ways, which many will explain on here, to make your Canadian credit known to US companies if you want to establish credit and you want them to look at your pre-existing credit in Canada.
