“Can I open a TD Canada Trust account before arriving in Canada?”

You will need to wait until you arrive in Canada to open your TD Canada Trust account. The staff at the TD Canada Trust branch near you will be happy to discuss your banking needs with you and set up your accounts to meet them. Banking with TD Canada Trust is very convenient: we have a network of more than 1,100 branches across Canada and we’re open longer—on average, 50% longer than other Canadian banks. That means that you’ll find it easy to locate a TD Canada Trust branch and we’re more likely to be open at times that are convenient for you to do your banking.

so TD is not an option it seems like
