How to move cash from Saudi to Canada !

[steaky]

Hey guys , has any one here immigrated from the gulf. Need some advise on how to transfer money from saudi to canada before landing there.

Once i leave saudi my visa expires which means my bank accounts close immediately. I thought about travellers cheques but saudi doesnt have that option any more.

I also dont want to do bankers cheques since they take 15 days to clear and should there be any issues, there is no one i can count on for support.

Any help will be much appreciated.. Thanks

Hello guys,

Need your help to understand on transferring the funds from Saudi to Canada.

What is the best way to transfer?
How much maximum we can transfer?
Can we do this transaction even before arriving to Canada e.g. 2-4 weeks before flying?

Thanks to advise!

The easiest way would be to open a Premier account with HSBC, which would allow you to instantly open accounts at HSBC locations internationally. You could then transfer funds between countries easily.

Otherwise, speak to any international bank in KSA about a wire transfer. It shouldn't be an issue.

Finally, if all else fails, bring a bank draft with you in CAD or USD and just deposit it into your TD account.

This is the approach I would recommend also

Hello

Did you find any solution to your question?

I am also struggling for the same. Wire transfer is possible from KSA to Canada (Concerned due to tension going on between the countries)

Hello,
Please advise how to open bank account in Canada before landing? Once we exit the Country (KSA) and transfer funds in Draft then there is no effect even the bank account has been closed in KSA?

Hi
Thanks for your reply.
They returned back the amount saying that TD rejected it.
However, previously a small amount was credited before.
