bank account in Canada
I deal with anumber of banks and just from checking with Bank of Montreal site www.bmo.com it says that to open an account you must be a resident of Canada.
I assume from this that all banks , running by the same federal rules . require residency.
However, I wonder why you should need an account here. If you have money in a bank in the country where you live you should also have a modern bank card for that account and it should have the ability to give you access to your money from any bank machine anywhere on the planet ( within restrictions from bank to bank machine of course)
Hence you already have your entire bank deposits at your disposal if you come to Canada.
Should you decide that you will live here then it can later be possible to get an account and transfer your money.
