During withdrawing any TC, Bank (in Canada) will ensure same signature bellow of the TC. If both signatures are same, then no problem to make it cash. If it is shown that your uncle signed it already, then it will not be excepted.  I think so.

Surely the idea is that you must show these are YOUR funds, and that these funds are unencumbered by debt.

If it is your money why is your uncle writing the check?

If your uncle is giving you this money as a gift, IMO you would also need a signed affidavit that this money is a gift and does not have to be repaid. You would also need to investigate the tax implications in your own country of receiving such a large gift since you may need to pay income tax on it.

If your uncle is lending you the money, then that is not allowed.
