OK great, and are you a Saudi national? Because on call the agent told me that it's only possible from our home country and not the resident country
Scotiabank - Funds transfer before landing
- Thread starter fmk8890
- Start date
Okay thanks for the information. Probably the agents are not fully aware of the process
I got the same reply from the agent too. What they meant was, make sire the bank account you are sending the amount from is yours, and under your name. Do not send it through Western Union.
also I online transferred the amount. I didn’t have to go visit any branch. It was very easy this way.
That's good to hear as I was very confused with their response. They told me that if I'm a Pakistani, I can only transfer money from a bank in Pakistan At first he wasn't even aware if such facility exists in their bank. This happened twice
Don’t be. Already did it twice, once through my account and the other through husband’s. They take 5-7 working days to confirm that they have received your transfer. You can use that as proof of funds at landing.
That's great! Thanks alot for the information. You have been very helpful
I used this Scotiabank program when I moved from the UK in 2016 and it became a fiasco.
The branch had no idea of what it was, had to contact Toronto, who couldn’t find the transaction and evetually after two weeks it was put through with a foreign investment account.
All sorted since, but not inspiring.

I think you have to chose a bank branch prior when setting up an online account? Also, did you book your appointment with details prior to visiting branch? I am in the process to do same, just little worried. Will be moving from Pakistan.
Would you have any email address of them. I am trying connect with them over their general email, but there seems to be no response.
Moreover, thank you for sharing your experience.
Just go on to their website and you’ll be able to find someone to talk to. Theres always a chatbox that pops up in contact us sectionWould you have any email address of them. I am trying connect with them over their general email, but there seems to be no response.

Pakistan has limit to carry maximum cash of US $10K. Would it be okay to bring some in cash, and some to transfer to Scotia bank showing total as proof of funds?
