I am sure a bank would be delighted to open an account for your Mum...just tell her to take photo ID, they will probably want several pieces of ID.

Hello,

I am on visitor visa. Please let me know what all documents I need to open a bank account and what type of bank account can I open. Please also let me know which bank should I approach. I have contacted Simplii and they are telling that I need either Canadian passport or Canadian Permanent Resident Card which I do not have.

Thanks and regards
