Depends on where you plan to drive them. If the plan is to import them to Canada, it may not end up cheaper.

Not sure on what type of car you are considering, but PHEVs and EV have tax incentives in Canada which at the moment are better than the newly passed tax credits in the US

I’m currently in the States and planning on moving within the next year to Canada. Wondering if I should buy here and import it to Canada or just buy in Canada

If you are moving to Canada for the first time as a PR and have a clean title, you don't have to pay any duties.

Feel free to DM.. went through the process last year

I have some collections on my credit report. One from an electric company for $800 (imo they violated terms of contract and sent me to collections in spite of their fuck up), and an apartment for $80~ that charged me a cleaning fee when my apartment was spotless.

Despite these two collections have a 712-720 credit score.

So mortgage lenders care at all about the collections or is it mostly the credit score that matters?
