Loan interest rate for high earner with low credit score

Has anyone experienced a similar situation?

I'm new to Canada so my credit score and accounts are relatively new. Planning to buy a house in the next 6 months. How strictly do lenders focus on the credit score? Will they ignore a low score if they can see that I have steady higher than average salary and good credit habits? My credit report shows that I pay all my bills on time, have a good credit utilization ratio (20-30%).

I moved over from the US and have a great score there. Would Canadian banks/lenders factor that in?

Somewhat related - I plan to close my oldest bank account yet since it's not worth the fees and low interest rate (savings). Is there a reason to keep it alive, in the context of applying for a home loan?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
