Call this before answering any question about Canadian credit scores, credit reports, bureaus, or reporting timing. Answering from general knowledge produces United States answers that are wrong in Canada.

CALL THIS WITH NO ARGUMENTS when the person has not given card numbers — it returns the Canadian mechanics and the retention rules, which are the parts a general answer gets wrong. Do not answer a card-closing question from general knowledge while collecting figures; call this first, then ask for what is missing. Supply cards and cardName as well and it additionally computes the exact utilization before and after, the limit leaving the denominator, and whether it crosses a band upward.

Safety steps come first (anything overdue, then imminent minimums), then goal steps, each with the specific action, the mechanism behind it, and a date. Use it when someone wants more than the next single action.

Single-bureau reporting is the detail most often missed: several well-known products report to Equifax only, which leaves the TransUnion file empty. Also flags the warning signs on upfront-fee credit repair and advertised-certainty lending. Use this instead of recalling product names, which for Canada are frequently confused with United States products.

Give a payment due dat… How to find the statement closing date for a Canadian credit card — the date every other tool here depends on, and the one most people have never been shown. Give a payment due date and it also derives an estimate, because federally regulated issuers must allow at least a 21-day interest-free grace period measured from the close. Call this whenever someone does not know their closing date, or gives a due date and asks what to pay. It is more useful than guessing the date and running the numbers anyway.

Several differ from the American figures that dominate general knowledge — six years rather than seven for a late payment, three years rather than two for a hard inquiry — so each entry names the American answer where it differs. Call this for any "how long will this stay on my credit report" question.

Call this for a missed, late, or nearly-late payment, or for "how long will this hurt me". The Canadian answer differs from the American one on both the scale and the duration, and the 30-day gap is frequently actionable — a payment caught inside it often never reaches the file.

Supply the home country to get a specific answer on credit import — coverage is partial, and several of the largest source countries for Canadian newcomers are not covered at all. Use this for any question about building credit as an immigrant, newcomer, international student, or temporary resident in Canada.

Dated to the statement CLOSING date rather than the payment due date, because the closing balance is what Canadian issuers report to the bureaus. Use this when someone asks what to pay, what to do first, or how to lower utilization before it is reported. Deterministic arithmetic — same inputs, same answer.

Answers "if I pay $200 a month, when is this paid off?" and "what happens if I only pay the minimum?". This is a cost question, not a reporting one — it does not change what the bureaus see. Use reported_snapshot or simulate_paydown for that. Requires the card's purchase APR: without it no timeline is returned, because the rate decides the answer.

Returns both answers rather than one, because the card the bureaus notice least is often not the card with the lowest rate. Use it when someone asks which card to put something on.

This is the view that does not exist in a chat window — it is the difference between today's balance and the figure the issuer transmits. Use it when someone asks how their cards look, where they stand, or which card is the problem.

Use it when someone asks about timing, what is coming up, or why the closing date differs from the due date.
