They told me to close the cards I do not need to increase the loan amount. Which is kind of the opposite of what the link says.
Similar thing here when I went to buy a second place. I figure my good standing on my credit cards was a good thing. Closing, and consolidating (at low interest) turned out to be the way to go.

It's likely a weird Canada thing; not sure how it goes with our American friends to the south.
