VANCOUVER, British Columbia - s4story -- GrowAsia Capital Ltd. today announced the launch of GrowAsia Capital, a Canadian loan matching platform built for newcomers who need to finance education and training as they build their careers in Canada.

Newcomers arrive in Canada with a credit history that starts at zero, whatever credit, savings and work experience they built in their home country. Canadian lenders rely on the Canadian credit file, so many qualified newcomers are turned down for the financing they need to get licensed, certified or retrained in their field. This gap matters most in the first years after arrival, which is when internationally trained professionals often need to pay for credential assessments, licensing exams and bridging programs.

GrowAsia Capital matches newcomers with vetted lenders that evaluate applicants on their situation today, not on a Canadian credit file they have not had time to build.

How it works

1. Tell us your situation. Applicants complete a short online form covering their residency status, time in Canada, the amount they need and the education or training they are financing.
2. Get matched. GrowAsia Capital checks the applicant's profile against its lender network's requirements and identifies the best-fit option.
3. Apply with confidence. Applicants review their match and apply directly with the lender.

Checking options through GrowAsia Capital does not affect an applicant's credit score. A credit check only takes place if the applicant chooses to apply with a lender. GrowAsia Capital does not ask for Social Insurance Numbers or banking passwords during matching, and shares applicant details only with its lender partners for the purpose of finding a match.
