    Is it a good way to open a USD account in Canada and transfer the money in USD?

    For opening student account, you will need to show a student id to demonstrate your eligibility. Also, I am not sure if they waive the charges for receiving international transfers into your account for students. Most banks in Canada charge a fixed monthly fee for maintaining your bank...

    Is it a good way to open a USD account in Canada and transfer the money in USD?

    @Slowwokan When you file your first income tax return, you disclose your assets (over CAD100,000) outside Canada prior to becoming PR. This disclosure lets you transfer your prior savings to Canada at any time without paying any taxes. Whatever you transfer before filing your first return is...

    Is it a good way to open a USD account in Canada and transfer the money in USD?

    It seems to me that you are working with the following assumption: “The rate being charged by your bank in Turkey for converting from USD to CAD is worse than the rate you will be charged by a Canadian bank/foreign exchange office.” To some extent you are correct in your assumption that foreign...

    Seniors, Experts & Strugglers, Opinion needed for Accouting Feild.

    I am not sure what you mean by you having to acquire one year work experience in Canada before commencing CPA. I am not aware of any such requirement by CPA. Similarly, I do not understand the connection between your accounting degree being recognised by CPA Australia not having any issues in...

    Hi, Unfortunately, 11 year old PCC is not acceptable to CIC. According to PCC instructions, it must be a fresh PCC issued within last three months. The other option left to your friend is to ask for waiver of PCC as he no longer lives in that country. He might need to provide copy of last UAE...

    Brother, I am advising you to do only what I had done myself. Even though I said this earlier between the lines, but repeating again that I obtained the PCC based on my Embassy request letter and it was accepted by the visa office.

    moving from middle east

    I am not sure what you mean by monthly income for family of three. If you are asking for living expenses, then the minimum should be around CAD3,000 monthly including apartment rent, utilities, transportation and groceries. And this is a bare basic cost of living with no luxuries included. As...

    Saudi Arabia based Applicant

    Dear fazal_81, CHC London uses regular post office services (also called snail mail for obvious reasons :)) for sending ordinary documents. They give your letter to Royal Mail UK which takes its good time and then ships the letter to Saudi Post (Bareed Saudi) which again takes its good time and...

    @Whynot I think you have done the correct thing by giving your name and company name along with company p.o. box number. Does your company have a central mail room in their office where they sort all the mail after collecting it from the post office box for distribution to the respective...
