If emigrating to Canada, would my credit history be given merit by financial institutions?

When opening bank accounts, applying for credit cards, etc., will my credit history be taken into consideration prior to entry into Canada?

Note: I’m not talking about the emigration process, I’m referring to credit scoring issues only, and whether or not foreign nationals are given merit for previous history when making new financial arrangements or agreements in Canada.
