Some of the popular banks that people have mentioned (order varies depending on your preference)
TD
RBC
Scotia
CIBC
Tangerine

Check for the nearest branches to your location and book an appointment for account opening discussions.

Documents required;
ID document - can be your passport/ Visa/COPR etc
Address Proof - Your COPR copy, Goods to follow list etc where address is mentioned
For other documents if any visit the bank website

Its a fairly simple process to get the Checking account started and also apply for most likely secured credit cards.

To build credit history try to use 70% of the limit of credit cards (shopping, buying tickets etc.) and clear dues on time.
your list is more or less accurate..

TD is good.. I use it majorly because it has US branch so helps me while travelling.

RBC: has nice credit card offers , just like Amex but cheaper version.

Scotia: if anyone gonna live in Nova Scotia take it.

Major diff in RBC and Scotia is: RBC also takes salary into consideration and Scotia as fixed new comer card of 3k whereas RBC is flexible,.

CIBC: kinda ok.

Check all bank and do research ,m as you guys don wanna hit ur credit shit as soon as you guys land ...to be frank Scotia and RBC are largest banks , pick your devil

Dear all,
I recently obtained my PPR mail on the 22nd of August and I got some worries I will really like to be clarified on. I am Cameroonian living in Cameroon and applied for FSW Outland. These are the requirements asked of me very lengthy please bare with me, I highlighted the areas of contention.

Dear applicant,



The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete. You must complete the following steps within 30 days in order for our office to issue your Confirmation of Permanent Residence and, if applicable, your permanent residence visa. If for any reason you are not able to meet this deadline, please inform us immediately by email to: dakar.immigration@international.gc.ca with details concerning your situation. Please cite your full name and file number (in the subject) on the return envelope. Failure to do so may delay your application processing. Please read the step 4 (what you should know)
STEP 1: CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES:

Should any of the following circumstances apply to you or any accompanying family member, you must inform this office immediately:

Now I got 3 queries

- Is this the same mail everyone got for their Passport Request?

- I did my medical exam before depositing my application back in March. I am expected to redo another or send the same one I did 7 months ago? It is worth noting I did not receive an extra mail with the medical forms as stated above. I wrote to Dakar Canadian Embassy immediately yet to get a reply from them.

- Lastly there was no attachment to my mail for Updated Information Chart as mentioned in point 7 and neither has there been an update on my application since I had my AOR.

I really need your help anyone to clarify this will be a relief

Thanks:(

Hello Everyone,

We got our visa last week.
I and my wife are leaving on 2nd October 2018.

I opened FDs worth 8.5 lacs with ICICI in the month of March 2018 and I am leaving in October(more than 6 months).
I asked my immigration consultant today if FDs can be shown as proof of funds to which he said you need to encash the FD and take cash and travel card along with you.
FDs are not acceptable as per him. He gave me one person's number who would help me arranging equivalent Canadian dollars and travel card(for withdrawal overseas). Now I smell something fishy here as I have heard that FDs are liquid funds and can be shown as proof of fund.

Need to know if FDs more than 6 months old can be shown as proof of funds.

I have no problems breaking my FD and keeping my funds in my account.pls guide.

So I am planning to take 4 lacs in Cash and 8.5 lacs (15531 CAD, we are two) as FDs with me. Will it be Ok?
Can anyone share their experience who have taken FDs as Funds and got through the entire process?
