How did you contact Scotia Bank? Twitter? Or email? Pls kindly share.Thanks
Just google Scotiabank start right program and follow their instructions. Your online account is set up in 24 hours and you can transfer funds to that account upto $50,000. The transfer invoice is sent to you in 5 -7 days that i used for proof of funds at landing. Once you enter canada you c an go to any scotiabank branch and open your chequing and savings account and get access to your investment.

Also, make sure you transfer your funds from yur own account in your country. No western union or other forms of foreign money transfer companies.

I also liked their Start right accounts, the chequing account is free, they also offered us credit cards with credit limits of $3,000 right away which was great. And i got a free Safety deposit box.

I have another question. how long before moving to canada should you open a canadian bank account? would a month before landing date suffice?

no such requirement and a waste of time, just go to a local branch. they are at every street corner.
