Student Credit Cards in Canada - How to Build Credit at 18 or 19

Are you looking for a list of student credit cards in Canada plus a bunch of helpful information about building credit as a student and what not to do when applying for cards? Then you've found the right video!

Recently, a student in my Wealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course asked me about how to help her 18-year-old son, who is going off to university soon, get his first student credit card. Even though it's fairly easy to get a student credit card in Canada, there's still some important info to know, including which credit card is the right one to apply for since not only will it be their first card, it might also be one they keep in their wallet for decades to come.
