I am an international student (US citizen currently residing in the US). I will be going to university in Toronto Canada in a couple of weeks. I have arranged to pay rent for a single room apartment, in order to do so I require a Canadian bank account. One which my father would be able to wire (transfer) funds to from the US. I was thinking CIBC, but I am not sure what the process is like in order to make it a Canadian account. Can someone explain to me the process?

1Are you in one of the states where CIBC has a presence (Illinois, Michigan, Wyoming, Wisconsin)? If not, you should probably call CIBC. Or show up a bit early with cash and a cheque and open the account in Toronto directly.– James McLeodCommented Aug 11, 2021 at 15:01

That’s probably not a location that does retail banking, but they may be able to connect you with the right people.– James McLeodCommented Aug 11, 2021 at 17:22
