Hi Fabiog
You can open a joint account with visitor visa and your passport is acceptable and good enough
Try TD bank

Hello, my husband and I were able to open our joint bank account at CIBC, we had no problem, I showed my visitor record and my pass port.

Hi,
Where did you get visitor record from and does the bank require a minimum ammount to be deposited into the account or would 50$ be enough.

We sent a visitor extension along with my PR application and after about 3 month I got my visitor record in the mail, there was no minimum amount to be deposited, Good Luck :)
