2. A real life example of how this topic is relevant to us is simple because we are going through it as we speak. As a student we are already getting loans to pay for school, we are already going into debt, and soon enough we will have to pay for a house, get a mortgage and try and pay that off as soon as we can. So yes, there is a lot of relevance into this topic because it happens to several Canadians non stop every single day.

The simple process of applying for a loan itself will lower your credit score, but if you're looking for a mortgage or auto loan there is grace period where multiple loans don't affect your score (they are taken as one application instead of multiple). Furthermore timely loan payment raise your credit score, it shows that you can be trusted with your money. This  because %35 of your credit score is payment your history. the website goes on to say that the bigger the gap between the initial loan amount and the current loan, the better the credit score.
