    Opening Bank Account before landing

    Hi @Man111 We only get the account activated and the debit card issued after the landing and by visiting a branch, am I correct here ? Can we do the initial account opening few months before the landing ? Do we have to maintain same currency (CAD) in both send and receive accounts? Thank You
