Banking your money before you go

[gerrybyrne]

A lot of people have been asking if they can lodge funds to a Canadian bank before they move. Take a look at this site.

If anybody opens an account before landing from outside Canada, please post your experience here to let us know how to go about it. Thank you .

How much for applying HSBC passport anyone knows?
Having a credit ready to use before landing would be a good thing. But I do not know how long it takes to apply a credit in Canada? if it is not that long, it might not be a big deal to have a banking account with HSBC then.

Thanks
