In Canada it is important to have a bank account to pay for study fees, daily purchases… and cash withdrawals. Opening a bank account is one of the first things that a resource person from INTERSTUDCanada will assist you with upon your arrival in Canada. Once your account is set up, you will be able to deposit cash, make funds transfer in it e.g. from parents’ account, major credit card.
Note that funds transfer made from origin country must be made ahead of time because such process can take few days and therefore it delays the availability of money in your Canadian bank account.
