Hi,

Not sure if its possible but wanted to know if anyone has done it before. We have done our soft landing back in May 2021 and using a online request form and giving our friends address, we got our PR cards delivered to them and later collected those when we met in India.

I plan to work in USA for any remote canadian company or even do freelance and get money in canada account while staying in USA.

I have couple of questions:

1. Is it possible to open a canada bank account from USA and use it for any deposits purpose. I saw that scoatiabank allows opening of an account online as long as you have a canadian phone number. (planning to take a canada textnow phone number for an year $4.99/yr)
2. Is it possible to get SIN from USA or do we need to apply it from Canada itself?

I wanted to know if anyone have done as above, if those dont work I shall go to canada and complete these works and come back.

As we have PR cards, should we travel together as a family or I can go alone and return?

P.s: I am currently on H4 visa in usa.
