Thanks. I'll pay them a visit to get further information. It's better to make one draft of large amount if you have to incurr a charge in clearing. What sort of charges are imparted during Wire T/f (in addition to the $25 by the issuing bank) ?

Yea sure. Let me explore the Scotia option first and I'll drop you an inbox. What sort of forms and how much time it would take to get all the documentation done ? CIBC is also another option..

So they don't require the funds on you or in your canadian a/c or DD ? Need to plan for the worst case..

I already have a USD a/c here in Pakistan but you are right I would lose out on conversion during Wire transfer so the option suggested above in opening a USD a/c in CN might be to improve upon that situation, but that is a story after landing. The first priority is to find a way to take the...

Hi, Do the immigration authorities ask to show the full amount required i.e. CAD 12,500 in any form such as DD, TT in new comer account or Cash at the border ? or just 5000 CAD would suffice? Thnx

Thanks for the response. I echo your concern about carrying loads of cash. In fact, I avoid cash transactions as money exchanges are the prime areas for snatching. Anyways, I inquired Pak Currency Exchange and HBL Currency Exchange they both declined to make a CAD DD. NBP agreed but asked me...

Actually, I am the only member coming to Canada. I would need some additional amount for my semester fees in Sept as I have secured admission in grad program.

I am going to do the same. I suggest you open a FCY account in Pakistan and start buying USD to make the wire transfer from your account to your new CAD account.

Yes like Scotia Bank Newcomers account. Haven't looked in to RBC yet

Wire transfer can be done if you already have opened an account in Canada in your name.

Wait, wait and wait...just stay on the call
