I moved the other way temporarily for a year. I wasn't allowed to use TD at the time for independence reasons but they were my first choice. Ended up going with RBC which was great as well. The big thing is making sure that they commit to looking to your US credit when you want credit cards / mortgage

i think TD has a pretty strong presence both in US and Canada.

I second td

After TD, RBC is the second best and who I ended up going with to keep my stuff together when I moved to the US

I’m in the same position. I’m considering both TD and RBC, from my research they seem to be the best options. Following along with further input, and good luck with your move!
