Can you send in money orders? You can get money orders in US$ at Canada Post. What about using a debit card?CDNPR2014 said:
I was just at Bank of Montreal and they can set up a dual account with Harris Bank in the US.CDNPR2014 said:
I'm not sure, but my sponsor and I had the exact same thing happen - SA on April 21 and an email on April 27th requesting FBI check and IMM5409 (did you send that in/did they request it if you didn't as well?) We replied with the forms and got an automated message back. I've never heard of them asking that quickly either so I'm confused.ktorva said:
US companies won't recognize Canadian debit cards online, the routing and banking numbers have different amount of digits. Annoying!TracyCa64 said:
that's interesting. i wonder if they can do the same for Bank of America. I will have to go to BMO and ask. Thanks for the idea!louise8118 said:
Oh I didn't know that. What about a credit card? I have used a Canadian credit card for online payments.CDNPR2014 said:

I'm paying bills that can't be paid by credit card. also a lot of the us online pay accounts won't accept canadian billing addresses, so it makes it difficult to pay with canadian credit cards. i have a borderless plan with TD that is a joke and this is part of the reason i'm seeking out new ways to pay bills (it takes 2 weeks for payments to go through and it's not paying correctly). in the settlement board, someone said there is another acct with TD that works better, so i will have to see if that's true.TracyCa64 said:
thanks! i will have to check them out too! im looking for a way to deposit us cash and pay bills while in canada, so we will see if RBC does that. The main issue is the routing and checking numbers are different in canada and the us, so I can't set up bill payments through a CANADIAN account on the websites for my us bills.julies879 said:
I have a US account with TD along with my Canadian, I go in every month and have them cut me checks in US funds and mail to the states.CDNPR2014 said:
do you mind me asking how much they charge in fees for that? this seems to be what they do when i initiate a payment online (cut a us check and mail it), except it takes 2 weeks to get paid, and one of my bills doesn't get paid properly. if it doesn't cost too much to get the check cut instantly, it could be a good option! i will just need to open a us td bank account, although i'm wondering now if my borderless plan will allow me to do that. hmmm.... interesting.carr1 said:
I don't get charged anything but it could be because I'm linked to my husbands account and he has the top account you can have at TD.CDNPR2014 said:
interesting. i will have to go and ask. apparently banks don't answer the phone during the day (i just tried calling 2 branches and got vm). what's up with that?!?carr1 said:
That's crazy! I live just a few blocks from a branch so it's easy to swing by for me.CDNPR2014 said:
