Is a NovaConnect inquiry considered a hard or soft pull in my home country?

NovaConnect inquiry is a soft pull for the U.K, South Korea, India, Australia, China, Spain, Switzerland, Canada TransUnion, Dominican Republic, and Philippines CRIF, which means that there will be no negative impact on the credit score of the consumer.

For Mexico, Brazil, Kenya, Nigeria, Canada Equifax, US Experian, and Philippines TransUnion it’s a hard pull—meaning that there may be a slightly negative impact on the credit score.
