How people ask for it

2 examples written by Taskly from what people search for in Canada. Real tasks look like these.

  • “Build a rental package for renting without credit history”

    I need a rental package for renting without credit history, since every Calgary landlord asks for a credit check. My partner and I moved from Bogotá two months ago, and our short-term rental ends in about six weeks.

    We both have written offers of employment and savings, but no Canadian credit file, and three landlords stopped replying after the credit question.

  • “Fill out my rental application form for Ontario (Form 410)”

    I need help filling out a rental application form for Ontario, the OREA Form 410, plus the documents to go with it. I arrived in Toronto from Chennai four months ago for a new role and I'm applying for apartments in Etobicoke.

    Agents keep sending me Form 410 and asking for a credit report, an employment letter and references. I'm not sure how to fill in sections like previous addresses abroad, or credit references when I have none here.

Good questions

What people ask before they post this in Canada.

  • 01

    How much does rental application cost in Canada?

    Usually C$50–250. Each Tasker names their own price in their offer, so you see the cost before you agree to anything.

  • 02

    What can stand in for a credit check when renting in Canada?

    Landlords may accept proof of income, a letter from your employer, bank statements showing savings, references from previous landlords and sometimes a guarantor. Deposit rules differ by province, so check yours.

  • 03

    Should a rental application include a cover letter?

    It helps, especially for newcomers. Keep it to one page: who you are, where you work, why you're moving, how long you plan to stay and how you'll pay. Attach the documents it mentions.

  • 04

    What documents usually go with Form 410?

    Commonly an employment letter, recent pay stubs or an offer letter, a credit report, photo ID and landlord references. Newcomers often add bank statements and a short cover letter to fill the credit gap.

  • 05

    What if I have no previous Canadian address?

    List your previous addresses abroad accurately with dates, and offer a reference from that landlord with contact details they can use. Honest, complete answers read better than blank sections.

  • 06

    How does paying work?

    Posting is free. When you accept an offer you pay the agreed price. Your money is held by Taskly until you confirm the task is done. If you don’t, it’s released three days after your Tasker marks it finished — unless you report a problem.

  • 07

    Who are the Taskers?

    People who have done what you need: worked at the company, passed the exam, made the move. Every Tasker is reviewed and approved by a person before they work.

  • 08

    What can’t a Tasker do here?

    Career and everyday help only. Taskers do not give visa or immigration advice; for that, use a licensed consultant or lawyer.
