It may be thrilling and difficult to relocate to a new nation, particularly when it comes to getting acquainted with the local banking system.  If you’re new to Canada, understanding Canadian banking procedures is crucial to handling your money wisely and adjusting to daily life.

To get started, here are some tips to get newcomers started in connecting with the Canadian financial institution that best suits their need.

  • Before opening an account in your name, a bank may require you to physically visit them if you are not yet a citizen of Canada. The good news is that a wide range of references and documentation, such as recent utility bills and foreign passports, can be accepted by many institutions as identification verification.
  • Many Canadian financial institution branches, particularly those located in larger cities and towns, take great pride in listing all of the languages spoken by their personnel. This implies that you may have the option of receiving service in the language of your choosing.
  • Think about if you want to handle all of your banking online. While managing your income and expenses may be made easier if all of your accounts are handled by one institution, you may lose out on better loan conditions and interest rates offered by other institutions. Additionally, you might not be approved for every product you want by your financial institution.
  • Prior to committing, find out about fees and costs. The amount you pay may vary depending on how you intend to utilize each account. Make sure you are aware of the costs associated with specific transactions and whether interest will be paid on funds held in the account.
  • Please ensure that you fully understand all account terms and conditions, including fees, before signing on the dotted line. Any topic you are unclear about, feel free to ask questions. A copy of your account agreement should be kept on file.

For newcomers to Canada, there is reliable financial advise available for free. The Canadian Financial Literacy Database, maintained by the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada, lists events and programs targeted at newcomers that address a broad range of financial themes.
