Hi all! It's been a while
I'm back in the Philippines (grabe na talaga ang init, pati ang traffic haha)! Won't be back in Canada until August though :/ I miss the ease of transport back in BC, hindi na ako makaalis sa bahay these days haha
Btw, to those who want to open a bank account even before landing in Canada, you can do it online with Scotiabank. I wasn't able to do this because I only got my Student TRV 2 weeks before I landed, and I was already too late when I found out. You can check it out here: http://www.scotiabank.com/ca/en/0,,6194,00.html
Scotiabank is okay, I chose them for the Scene card
(I love movies!) Although BMO has good deals with their SPC credit card, and if you like going to concerts, there are exclusive deals with TD.
Anyway, let me know if there's something I can help you with
