During my immigration interview, I was asked to open an account in a canadian bank, transfer a certain amount of money, and provide proof to the Canadian Embassy in Damascus/Syria that funds have been deposited into an account at the bank in my name. I contacted several canadian banks by email to open a bank account, but all of them replied that I cannot open an account before arriving to canada. I finished my medical and I don't know what to do concerning this issu.
Your help is highly appreciated.
