Well yesterday I finally landed after completing my 2 months notice. So today decided to go to RBC and open their welcome to Canada bank account and get the RBC cash back credit card so that I could start building my Canadian credit history.
My immigration document as for most new residents from the UK VO is the IMM5688 Confirmation of Permanent Residence printed on plain legal paper.
So on going to RBC they said I needed to produce either IMM1000 or IMM 5292.
I told them that 5688 replaced 5292 but they would not accept this. Did I just get an idiot at the bank? I am going to try again Monday with a different branch and will ask to speak to the manager if I have no luck.
This clearly states the new document replaces 5292 so I have printed a copy to take with me Monday.

Otherwise who did you open accounts with and did you have any issues?
