funds to open a bank account in Canada

• it depends... must checking or "chequing" accounts as they are called in Canada, can be open with $500 or even less. Some of them require that you have a minimum balance and sure, they get you with service charges. Each bank has at least a dozen different packages and they differ by the level of service (i.e. free transactions per month). My advice is to determine your needs and go to the bank requesting something that looks like you.
  
  In terms of which back to get??? well, many people may disagree but I think that they are pretty much the same, especially in the major cities.
