all info is provided on banks website above...read all info in detail..also read application guide..


Scotiabank will open a GIC for a 1 year term and email you the GIC account number within 10 business days, along with other remittance details, which will allow for a wire transfer of funds from India.
You can then wire transfer $10,000 CAD (plus $100 CAD to cover administration fees etc.) to open a GIC.
Upon arrival in Canada, you'll be required to visit a Scotiabank branch to activate the GIC and open a deposit account. Once the account is opened, an initial amount of $2,000 CAD will be transferred to your deposit account. The remaining amount will be automatically transferred in four (4) equal installments of $2,000 CAD every two months.

In the application guide it was mentioned that the documents should be placed in the following order,

Scan all documents in ONE SINGLE PDF File, in the following order:
I. Signed copy of the Scotiabank Student GIC Program Application Form.
II. Copy of passport pages (photograph page and the last page with signature)
III. Copy of acceptance letter from a Canadian educational institution
All copies MUST be signed by the student

Is it mandatory to place them in the same order. I placed in the following order I,III,II ... :(
Also in the subject line should we give our name ,passport number and DOB ?
