Studying in Canada is a dream come true for many students from Kerala. The land of maple leaves, top-ranked universities, and exciting career opportunities offers a world of possibilities. But let’s face it: moving to a new country comes with its challenges. One of the biggest hurdles? Setting up your finances. That’s why Canada Visa Point, in partnership with BMO – Bank of Montreal, is thrilled to offer a seamless solution to students from Kerala: opening a bank account before you even land in Canada!
Why Open a Bank Account Before Traveling?
If you’re heading to Canada for higher studies, having a bank account ready in advance can make your transition smoother. Here are the key benefits:
- Ease of Financial Transactions
- Pay your tuition fees, accommodation, and other expenses without worrying about international transaction charges.
- Receive funds from your family in India directly to your Canadian bank account, avoiding hefty currency conversion fees.
- Access Your GIC Funds Instantly
- A Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) is mandatory for your student visa application. With a BMO account, your GIC funds will be available for withdrawal shortly after you arrive in Canada.
- Build a Credit History Early
- Having a Canadian bank account helps you build a local credit history, which is essential for renting apartments, applying for loans, or even getting a mobile plan.
- Stay Organized
- Managing your finances becomes stress-free when you have all your transactions in one place. Use BMO’s state-of-the-art mobile banking app to track your spending, transfer funds, and budget effectively.
- Save Time and Effort
- Arriving in a new country involves a whirlwind of activities. By setting up your bank account before your departure, you can avoid the hassle of visiting banks during your first few days in Canada.
