If you wanna go full ham, I'd find a way to get an ITIN and get started on some Chase cards

If you can maintain a $5k balance then the big banks are all the best bets - just a matter of who has a branch/ATM near you or if you already bank with them in other ways. Most of the big banks will also cover the annual fee on one of their premium cards - I get my TD Aeroplan card for free.
If you can't keep a balance then Tangerine works just fine as a free account especially if you have a Scotia ATM/branch near you.

So EQ is like Tangerine ... except with the Levy father-son as their face of the bank except with different features.
Here's a comparison chart of the two https://www.nerdwallet.com/ca/bankin...k-vs-tangerine | |

Yes, similar but they have their differences. As they say. Pick your poison.
I've been using EQ Bank for a number of years. So far, so good.

I flip $ between EQ and Tangerine depending who has better rates at any given time. Works good.

What's the closest alternative | If you are a current holder of the HSBC WE MC, you would've received a transition package to RBC and a new RBC Avion visa (that includes the same terms for 1 year as the HSBC MC) card.

I ended up with the Rogers Mastercard now that my HSBC card is gone. Quote:
World Elite MC (starting on April 9, 2024):
- 3% on purchases in USD.
- 1.5% on everything else if you have no Rogers/Fido/Shaw Services.
- 2% on everything if you have at least one Rogers/Fido/Shaw service.
- 1.5x bonus when you redeem on any Rogers/Fido/Shaw purchase charged to the card. It equals to 4.5% (4.5% - 2.5% FX Fee = net 2% return) on purchases in USD and 3% on everything else when you have at least one Rogers/Fido/Shaw service.
- 5 Roam Like Home days for free every card membership year (Rogers mobile customers only)
| Details here: https://forums.redflagdeals.com/roge...thing-2292136/
Originally I was going to live with the Avion Visa until realizing I still need a Mastercard for Costco.
