Yes, contact an overseas branch of a Canadian Bank, HSBC or Royal Bank.

Just wait until you arrive in Canada

It does not take that long to open an account.

FWIW HSBC do not have as many branch locations as other Canadian banks. Check the location that you are moving to.
You can use BMO atm's with an HSBC card.

That's even true.. Scotia bank is the best and many ATM and locations. HSBC is also good if you are staying to GTA and plan to open another new bank account after landing.

Yes, but clear a bank draft from another country take some time for clearance. It would be better if you have opened a HSBC account before landing and transferred some funds for immediate use.

Not if you are located in a town that does not have an HSBC or a BMO

Carrying some funds and a credit card (if possible) can sometimes be a better option.
