Does having a good credit score in USA help in obtaining better credit terms in Canada?

I have a credit score greater than 760 in the US. We are planning to move to Canada and buy a home there. Do Canadian lenders have access to/consider US Credit Score when considering an application for credit?

    They may have access and they may not have. You should obtain a printout of your credit history before leaving the US, preferably within the last 30 days prior to leaving, and present it within the same month to a recognised Canadian credit reference agency and ask for it to be included on their database. Should do the trick!

    well no because these are two different states and your credit score is good in the US it might be different in Canada.
