Is it possible to open a Canadian bank account from US (planning to move in a few months)? I currently bank with Citi US. Any advice on what the process looks like would be very helpful.

Also try RBC, catch is you cannot access your funds until you are physically in Canada.

Try BMO or TD. Citi barely has any presence in Canada.

I’m a Canadian citizen but I never lived in Canada.
Currently in 🇨🇭 and planning to move to Canada for the experience. However it seems that the salaries are super low compared to the US or Switzerland. Is that because of the high taxes? Does $82k in Vancouver/Calgary allows you to live decently or am I gonna struggle? Current TC USD92k (CHF83k) and it would take a big hit by moving to Canada. But at the same time 🇨🇭 is one of the most expensive countries in the world.
