Yes that's possible. One of my friend who is in Vancouver said that he has an account in RBC and is quite happy with their services. He also mentioned the fact that Scotiabank is like the SBI of Canada. They have the most number of branches over there as compared to any other banks.

I would suggest you to use TD because it does not deduct money on each transaction if you maintain a specific balance, all other banks do. Its service is better

really? the agent told me to deposit $500 to get credit card. i think what you are talking about is alraedy gone few months ago, now they need deposit from students.

the agent at TD bank told me that this "no deposit" thing is gone now.

Thank Q.

everything has positive and negative side...

so just priorities your requirements and then look for bank... all bank are good and as for your knowledge ... Canadian banks are the highest secure banks when talk about online transaction security.

search at Google.. u will get all answers ... list of all bank and vistt bank website and get all info.

along with scotia bank A/c,, u can open the account in other bank and when your GIC cash get mature then simply you can close it.


every bank offer different type of A/c services which suit your needs and requirements so first frame ur needs and then select bank...

that's true some bank rip little bit extra.. and some will suit to ur pocket very well...

take little pain, Research the services and get it..
