Banking Things to do before coming to Canada:

Contact your bank

Speak with your bank before your leave your home country. If you make arrangements,

you may be able to use your bank card in Canada at certain banks. If your family plans

to send you money, you might be able to arrange for them to put money into your

account at home, which you can then access in Canada. If you don't make these

arrangements, your family will have to send money by wire transfer to your Canadian

bank account. You must pay fees to make wire transfers.

Contact your credit card company

Bring your credit card(s) but make sure you tell your credit card company that you will be

in Canada. If they are not told in advance, they might assume it was stolen and put a

hold on your account after the first time you use it in Canada.
