Welcome to Canada!

Hello Kadiatou, to transfer your money, I recommend that you look at Wise, which offers readers of pvtistes.net a first transfer free of charge, so when you arrive in Canada, the money will be in your account directly: https ://pvtistes.net/bonsplans/wise/ 🙂

Hello Julie,
Thank you for your answer and your availability. But the problem is that my money is already in Canada on my cousin’s account. He was the one who wanted to transfer my funds back to my Desjardins account. So is there a solution so that he can make the transfer to me?

Good morning,
Congratulations on your project in Canada and thank you for your comment!
To solve your problem, you can write to me at [email protected] or contact our team dedicated to newcomers and non-residents: [email protected] +1-514-875-4266, option 1

Hello Amine, I contacted Hanane from Desjardins, who wishes to answer you this, in the absence of Rémy who usually responds to comments:

Hello Amine, Thank you for trusting Desjardins! We are sorry for the experience you had. Could you please write to me at this address: [email protected] so that I can help you sort everything out. A beautiful day to you! – Hanane

Hello,

First of all, thank you for your interest in Desjardins and congratulations on your project in Canada.

You can pre-open your account at http://www.desjardins.com/open account, then you will receive your Desjardins RIB by email, then you can make your 1st international transfer, then you can finalize your account in Canada, then you can make payments or transfers to a Desjardins account in Canada.
Before finalizing the account in Canada, we recommend that you make an international transfer directly from your French account to the Canadian account of your interlocutor.

If you have other Canadian banking questions, we invite you to contact our team dedicated to newcomers and non-residents directly: [email protected] +1-514-875-4266, option 1
