try a store like Ikea, futureshop or Best Buy

  • These stores offer a credit card to pretty much anybody. Keep this credit account open for about 6 months to a year and then close it. Once you have had the card for about 8 months, you have "credit history".

    Be warned that these cards charge a ridiculously high interest rate (around 25%) so consider this part of your "set up costs" in a new country.

    I hope this helps,
