Transfer to Canadian Bank Account?
I am using a old Mobile set. Whatapps doesn't work. Will join in next few days
Once you have your CoPR letter, contact Sergio and refer my name in the email...
*Taking money to Canada safely and not incurring excessive banking/transaction/conversation fees*
The best way will be to open a bank account in Canada and transfer the settlement through TT in one go, incurring least banking fee and one time conversation charge.
The account can only be opened post CoPR. This is what they call a deposit account. You can only deposit money and not take it out before landing in Canada. The deposit account can be converted into any preferred bank account upon visiting the chosen bank's branch.
Here is how RBC will deal with this. They will also provide you with an attested balance certificate for show at immigration desk at the canadian airport.
Here is the email I got for the procedure to be followed:

Sergio Fantini. As your Banking Advisor, I will be assisting you with your application.
To help you get started, I’m enclosing an application for a no-monthly-fee RBC Day to
Day Savings® account. The RBC Royal Bank account you open before you come to Canada is a deposit account, and your funds will be held as “deposit only.” This means you can deposit money into the account, but you cannot withdraw from it until you arrive in Canada.
What do you need to apply?

A supporting document from List 2, if applying with foreign identification The date you expect to arrive in Canada
