Can't recommend you anything for sure, because it will depend on your personal needs and preferences, and maybe even your location (accessibility to branches and ABMs).

Like me, I just went for BMO because they had the longest free banking (12 months) and they had a branch near my location (although all top 5 banks are). My Scotiabank draft, which I used to transfer my funds, was cleared immediately.

No real complaints about BMO, but maybe if I had to choose another one, I'd go for RBC because of the Westjet miles credit card, as I have to travel to the US every now and then.

So basically...it's very personal.

Alright. I have heard that their processing time is much longer with paper based application to be posted after attestation. I'll check if I can do this within my timeline.

Thanks
