Getting IMM 1442 (Visitor Record) when arriving by air

[meddler80]

Hi, first time on here so apologies if I am raising a question answered elsewhere.

I will be arriving in Vancouver in a few weeks, as a visitor (Australian passport) and want to open a bank account whilst Im there.

To do so, according to the bank, I will require an IMM 1442 form; but I can't confirm whether or not I will be issued one when landing.

Does anybody know if it is common practice to issue IMM 1442 visitor records to air arrivals, if I will need to ask for one especially or if it is even possible to get one on arrival into YVR?

Thanks in advance to all those who take the time to respond.

Did you check CIC website ?
I'm not sure if you can get this kind of document just arriving as a visitor..
To open a bank account you need mainly an address in Canada, do you know anybody that lives here ?
Which bank are you talking about ?
