cheque payee name

[ahorse]

Dear Seniors,
please help me for this:
I am to land Toronto soon. I plan to bring cheque (casher's order, banks draft) as landing fund.
I am an Asian, my question is:
for the payee's name on the cheque, should I ask the bank to address it in the order of: my Surname + given name, or should be my given name + Surname?
Here people usually use the order of surname + given name
Thanks

Hi
If you already have an account in Canada then you can use that combination.
Else FN/LN should be fine. Even if there is a doubt, as long as you have an additional proof (Passport, COPR Docs,...) it should not matter.

manianz47,
thanks for your reply.
I will be landing next month.
My concern is if the order of the name is wrong, then the bank may not accept it and I will be short of money.
By the way, are you already in Canada? how about your bank account name sequence, FN/LN or LN/FN?
thanks a lot!

Relax! It doesn't matter what sequence the name is penned on the draft. As long as it's your name & u have pps depicting the same name - u should be fine.
