we can open a Scotia Bank account from India. We can transfer our funds to that account and that helps with the stress of obtaining TCs and BDs
.
All we need to do is contact our nearest Scotia bank branch in India and they will help us with the account opening.
The documents required to initiate the process:
Original Passports with the visa stamps
Original CPR documents
Once we produce these documents to our nearest branch, they help us fill out the application forms and then send the referral to our desired Canadian branch. It takes a week or 2 for the account to be opened and the welcome pack o reach us in our current address(India). Once we receive our welcome pack, which will have our account number, cheque leaves etc., we have to initiate the request for the wire transfer of funds. Our local branch of Scotia bank can help with this. Once the funds are transferred and credited into our account, we will receive a bank balance certificate which can serve the POF requirements at the point of entry(Airport/border) during the landing process.
Want more? The transferred money is readily available for our use on a 1 click activation after we visit our branch in Canada, while our BDs may take as long as a month to get credited.
We can also apply for a $1000 credit card with our account and so we will have all that waiting for us when we visit our branch in Canada for activation.
A husband and wife can open 2 separate accounts or a joint account from here. The maximum limit to transfer to the new Scotia bank accounts while still in India is CAD$50000 and only one wire transfer is allowed per account before it is activated.
