I've dabbled a bit on the business card end though with a BBP and a Delta Gold. I'd ideally like to get a Canadian Amex Gold as my first Canadian card.
A few questions I do have though:
Is an Everyday card sufficient to take advantage of Amex GT?
Would I be eligible to apply for any Canadian Amex card?
Thought I'd pop in with a quick update regarding timelines after a few PM's.
24.05: Submitted application
25.05: Identity verification request (bank account and utilities), link valid for 90 days from application submission
12.06: Documents submitted
18.06: Card arrival
Overall, quite pleased with how hassle free this was.
For utilities, I just bought a $15 payg mobile phone plan here that I plan on cancelling after one month.
