    Is it a good way to open a USD account in Canada and transfer the money in USD?

    So, isn't there any loss of money after transaction? Let's say I write 150,000 CAD on the bank draft and I tell my bank to take that 150,000 CAD + the fees from my account at their bank. Then when I give that 150,000 CAD bank draft to a Canadian Bank, am I gonna get exact 150,000 CAD? And...

    Is it a good way to open a USD account in Canada and transfer the money in USD?

    Actually, nowadays I am preparing to apply to master programs at some universities. I might get a student ID soon. At least a confirmation letter from schools. I mean I could have a chance to arrange the required document. As for the bank draft, could you explain it to me a little, please, how...

    Is it a good way to open a USD account in Canada and transfer the money in USD?

    I have one more question. I can open another thread for that, but as I've met some experienced people under this thread, I preferred to ask it here. Here is my question; A friend of mine, who has been living in Canada for 5 years, advised me to open a student account. By this way, I will be...

    Is it a good way to open a USD account in Canada and transfer the money in USD?

    Thanks for that so valuable info, lawrence2007. Really appreciated!!! ;) As for the RBC link, I know it requires with both options that you should be physically there to open an account. But as I said, the guy on the chat service told me we could open by sending them the scanned copies of our...

    Is it a good way to open a USD account in Canada and transfer the money in USD?

    And another thing I want to know... Does anyone of you know what the time limit for transferring our wealth (all accounts, etc.) to Canada is? Let's say I cross the border today and become a resident. When I transfer my 200,000 CAD, they will not ask for any tax, because I made all that wealth...

    Is it a good way to open a USD account in Canada and transfer the money in USD?

    Thanks for the detailed comment and advice, lawrence2007..;) You are right, I can negotiate with my bank when converting that much money. But I will do the same with my exchange office, as well, like I always do whenever I exchange over 5,000 USD. And I think the exchange office will offer...

    Is it a good way to open a USD account in Canada and transfer the money in USD?

    Yes, david1697. The rate is still higher than I find here in Turkey. I mean it might be much more reasonable than the banks, but as for exchange offices, it isn't better than them, at least for the exchange offices in Turkey.

    Is it a good way to open a USD account in Canada and transfer the money in USD?

    Thank you david1697. I checked USForex. But even in their rate, CAD is 3 cents higher than my exchange office. With my savings to be exchanged, I will be losing almost 3,000 CAD due to high rates. The best way I found out is I will open a CAD account here in Turkey, and I will withdraw my...

    Is it a good way to open a USD account in Canada and transfer the money in USD?

    Yes, that's my plan. But it is quite a bit hassle, to withdraw that much and go to the exchange office and then go back to the bank. Too much hassle and stressful moments. Maybe, I will do it in amounts of 10,000 to reduce the risk, I don't know. Thanks for the comments guys..;)

    Is it a good way to open a USD account in Canada and transfer the money in USD?

    I probably will choose to open a CAD account at RBC and send my Turkish Liras direct to my Canadian account and be ready to be affected from banks' crazy exchange rates. Finding that much CAD at exchange offices in Turkey is another story.. ??? I don't work at a bank. I am an engineer. That's...

    Hi guys. I've searched the forum, but couldn't find anything about the method, I wonder. Here is the thing; I will be landing in Edmonton in April. I asked RBC and they said I am able to open an account before landing in Canada. What I am thinking to do is, I will open a USD account at RBC. I...
