When getting to canada, get the bank account first

  • Among all these choices, you definitely need to get the bank acount first. For that you may need 2 or 3 pieces of government issued IDs (your passport, your PR Card, your home driver's license or your student ID at the university, etc.)

    If you are arriving as a landed immigrant, the PR Card will be sent to you prior to your arrival. Contact CIC or the Canadian Consulate near you.

    The PR Card susbstituted the old landed immigrant document (IMM 1000), which was a looooong page that you needed to attach to your passport and show it to immigration officers in Canada everytime you came to Canada.

    The health insurance will take a while. You need to reside in canada for at least 90 days in order to apply for provincial health coverage and the drivers's license... well, that will take a while. You need to set up an appointment, etc, etc, etc.


    So, the bank account you will need anywhere and likely from day 1
