This is for Scotiabank (no idea abt other bank)

You should put your middle name along with first name.
GIC it does not allow spaces, put a dash (-)

note your bank name should also match your passport and instruct the bank to put your middle name on Given Name

example:
passport:
Given Name: Maria Juana
Middle Name: Santos
Surname: Dela Cruz

GIC - when you create use:
Given name: Maria-Juana-Santos
Surname: Dela Cruz
Thank you @Faith_Canada123. Request for name change already sent to Scotiabank. Hopefully they can make the correction within the week.

Did mine sa Metrobank pero with CIBC. In CIBC, there is an option to choose USD or CAD. I chose USD so from my Php account to USD to CIBC.

I just showed them the letter, filled out a form and done. Got confirmation from CIBC in less than 48 hrs.
Hi, I am now preparing wire transfer from Metrobank to Scotiabank. I already gave metrobank the instruction as received from scotiabank and still they are asking me to confirm what is the difference between item 56 & 57.

As per instruction

Send Instruction to:
THE BANK OF NOVA SCOTIA <===== Is this supposed to be on item 56????
44 King Street West Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5H 1H1
SWIFT Code: NOSCCATT

Beneficiary Bank Information (Field 57)
THE BANK OF NOVA SCOTIA
TRANSIT 35972 SSG Transaction Processing
4715 Tahoe Blvd Mississauga, Ontario, L4W 0B4
SWIFT Code: NOSCCATTCOL

Please let me know. Thank you

Based on the instructions provided by CIBC Swift Code is 56. The name and details of the bank is 57. But in the Metrobank form both 56 and 57 have swift code and bank details (no difference). My Metrobank branch crossed out 56 and they just told me to put the details in 57.

Not all branch are aware. I know PNB Shangrila and BDO Gil Puyat knows the procedure.
if in UAE, go to PNB Karama branch, they can assist you open an account and all.
hi Ms. Faith,I would like to get GIC also.
I do not know where to start. I am in Singapore now and I have BDO account in PH. Pupunta lang po ba kami sa BDO Gil Puyat and tell na mag apply ng GIC?
Meron po bang form na ma fill up online or doon lang sa bank. Thank you in advance

Hi Ms Barb, OK na po yung GIC mo?
I would like to get one din po. Which branch did you go. Para doon na rin ako pupunta.
Thank you
Hello....GIC wire transfer to happen more or less next week. Super hirap makipagusap sa branch while you are out of the country. I asked if I can make it from another branch but I was told by a friend also from the same bank but different branch that you can do the wire transfer only from the branch where you have your account. I couriered all my forms and signed documents. Hopefully, everything goes well soon.
