    Keeping Bank Accounts and Investments alive in the US after moving to Canada

    Keeping Bank Accounts and Investments alive in the US after moving to Canada

    Have you moved your money from BoA to Canada yet ? The BoA does not accept PO Box or Virtual Mail Address so likely I will need to move money. I think with RBC bank you can open a USD account and move money without converting currency.

    Keeping Bank Accounts and Investments alive in the US after moving to Canada

    Yes I am close to the border however didn't know if it is normal to rent a PO box and cross the border on Visitor Visa (that I fortunately got before Corona).

    Maintaining US Bank Accounts

    Yeah, that's what I would do too but unfortunately I don't have close relative. My friends will eventually move to Canada and the other ones are not that responsible enough to keep the mail secure or separate.

    But the forms says if you are applying in year 2019, then you need to show income for last 3 years i.e. 2018,17 and 16. In my case, I am applying in 2020, so I would need returns on 2019, 18 and 17. Please correct me if I misunderstood.
