Hello,
I took the necessary steps to open my account online and I received an email from Desjardins.
However, I cannot open the attached document, even by entering my passport number as a password. Can you help me?
Cordially.
Good morning.
Thank you for your interest in Desjardins.
Following the first email with your Desjardins RIB from our Newcomers team, you must have received a second one containing a password to open it.

Hello !
It seems, when opening a remote account, that it is necessary to give the address that we will have in Canada. Except I intend (as many surely!) To take advantage of the Working Holiday Permit to change place and even province more or less regularly … what should I communicate as an address?
Hello.
Thank you for your interest in Desjardins.
For the “Address in Canada” section, you can tell us the neighborhood where you think you will even be living temporarily or work to allow us to choose the Caisse (= agency) most convenient for you. Then we can change it with your final address.

Hello,
Is the “good garden plan” with Globe PVT valid for Calgary and / or Vancouver?
Thank you
Hello,
First of all, thank you for your interest in Desjardins and congratulations on your project in Canada.
Desjardins is present throughout Quebec and Ontario but we are not present in the rest of Canada as you will see on http://www.desjardins.com/localisateur
However, our payment methods (debit card, credit card, checks, INTERAC transfers, etc.) work across Canada.

HELLO
I’m flying tomorrow for Montreal.
I received the certificate of transfer of funds, to make my transfer via transfer wise and I cannot send money because it is written that my account number must contain 16 characters, except it has only 15 !! does this have to do with the absence of a verifier number?
Hi Michaël, has the problem been solved? I know that many pvtistes go through Transfermate to send their money to a Desjardins account and that it works well. The two transfer organizations should work more or less the same so normally it should be good 🙂
Hello ,
I would like to benefit from the good Desjardins plan to make transfers before my departure, but the bank asks me for an address in Canada. That I am not at the moment because when I arrive I will be in an airbnb. How did the PVTiste do ???
Hello.
Thank you for your comment and your interest in Desjardins. We actually ask you for an address in Canada to select the agency (called the Caisse) that is most convenient for you once there. You can therefore tell us “roughly” the district where you plan to live and / or work.

Hello Edouard,
No, the offer is limited to PVTistes and Young professionals.
slt there is no way to send money or even make count open an account here even where jenme resides in Algeria. So my question what to do and thank you bcq
Hello, you can make a transfer from your Algerian bank to your Canadian bank or then go through a money transfer organization like Transfermate: https://pvtistes.net/bonsplans/transfermate/, which generally offers more exchange rates interesting 🙂
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in Desjardins.
We offer a very simple and free remote account opening process in 3 steps and 7 working days:
A – We invite you to consult our reference site http://www.desjardins.com/OpenOccount and to respond to the best of your knowledge to the form by filling in the mandatory fields.
B – Subsequently our team dedicated to new arrivals will take care of you and communicate with you by email (remember to check your SPAM file or spam) to finalize the opening, receive the electronic versions of your identity documents and visa and guide you through the next steps (sending the bank details, 1st transfer of funds, etc.)
C – Once in Canada, you will be able to authenticate yourself and recover your means of payment (FREE debit card = access card)
