Click "Apply Now". After reviewing the details of the CIBC Classic Visa Card, locate the "Apply Now" button or link associated with the card. This button is usually displayed prominently on the card's information page.

Fill Out the Application Form. Once you click on "Apply Now," you'll be directed to an online application form. Provide the required information accurately and completely. This typically includes personal details such as your name, address, contact information, employment status, and income.

Be a Canadian Resident. Applicants must be residents of Canada to be eligible for the card.

Have Reached the Age of Majority in Your Province. Individuals applying for the card must have reached the age of majority in their respective province or territory.

Have a High Credit Score (>760). While specific credit score requirements may vary, a fair credit score, generally defined as above 760, is typically required for approval.

Have a Minimum Household Annual Income of $15,000. Applicants are typically required to demonstrate a minimum household annual income of at least $15,000 to be considered for approval.

Insufficient Credit History. If you have a limited credit history or a history of late payments or defaults, the issuer may deny your application.

Low Credit Score. If your credit score falls below the threshold set by the issuer, you may be denied the card. Generally, a credit score below 760 is considered subprime.

High Debt-to-Income Ratio. If your debt obligations are too high compared to your income, the issuer may deem you a higher risk and deny your application.

Recent Bankruptcy or Foreclosure. Recent bankruptcy filings or foreclosures on your credit report may lead to a denial as they indicate financial instability.

Too Many Recent Credit Inquiries. If you have applied for multiple credit cards or loans recently, it may signal to the issuer that you are in financial distress and could result in a denial.
