True, RBC Centura is RBC's US division, but I thought their services were limited to only those from the US. I'll probably call them on Monday to get the details. I'll look into Bank of America possibly as well. Thank-you everyone for your suggestions! I appreciate it...
A friend of a friend who has been a lawyer for 50 years has established credit in the US because of his excellent credit history in Canada, yet he doesn't have a US ssn. I think he was able to get US credit cards because of that as well as being a homeowner in the US. I guess there are certain perks yeah? You just have to try & apply and see what they say.
