But the rep at CitiBank said no problem to open a savings account if I bring in my temporary residency and a contract for a job. Havent got the contract yet, so cannot verify this.
As well, I contacted a Canadian bank I dealt with in Canada, and they said It should not be a problem to open a savings account with them here once I am working.
Hope this helps someone. And if you find out that it is true... PLEASE tell me
Have a great day everyone!
