If you plan to take more money to Canada when you land for the first time, it is suggested to open an account with branches of major Canadian banks in China in advance, and bring a receipt letter or immigration landing paper, so that you don't have to carry a lot of cash around. After arriving in Canada, go directly to the bank used to activate the account. At present, BMO Manhattan Bank, RBC Royal Bank, CIBC Imperial Bank, TD-TD Bank and HSBC have branches in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
Before landing, you need to apply for a certificate that there is no claim record for driving in China, and you can enjoy a 15% discount on Canadian auto insurance every year and a 60% discount on the upper limit. Due to the large number of people who issued the certificate in the past, the Canadian Automobile Insurance Bureau often evaluates the certificate overseas. Therefore, when issuing this certificate, it should follow the format required by the Canadian Automobile Insurance Bureau. Whoever opens his name can enjoy the insurance discount, and the husband and wife cannot use it interchangeably.
There are also many new immigrants who ask us what we need to take to Canada. In the past, when domestic prices were not high, you could bring more. Now the situation is different. The prices of daily necessities in Canada and the United States are not high, so you can buy them in Canada. The underwear, T-shirts and coats that Vancouver often wears are much cheaper than those in China, and the familiar CK and HM in China are also much cheaper than those in China. Canadian furniture is not very expensive either. When it comes to carry-on luggage, our experience is: medicine, stationery and bedding. As for medicines, it is recommended to bring some commonly used medicines such as Zhengchaihu Granules, Vc Yinqiao Tablets, Berberine, Cool Oil, dyclonine, Tin Powder, etc. Be careful of antibiotics. The customs does not welcome such drugs to enter the customs. Stationery and bedding are still domestic and cheaper than foreign ones.
