Mortgage Broker saying it will take 3 months to generate a credit score

I've never had debt other than student loans and never needed a credit card. Broker told me I can't proceed with a mortgage application w/o a cosigner until we can generate a credit score which will take 3 months with my new CC. My lease is up on New Years so I was really hoping I would have a place by then. Is there anyway to speed this up? Would getting a mortgage through a bank maybe be able to go through faster? Making 74k, have 47k saved and was going to put 35k+ whatever I need to get into a cheaper mortgage insurance bracket down but since this is taking longer than I expected I may put more down. Looking in the 250-260k max range which my broker said I should have no problem getting

Edit: In Canada if that makes any difference

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
