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.
WARNING: emails sometimes arrive in the SPAM or unwanted mail box.
If this is not the case, you can directly contact our team dedicated to new arrivals and non-residents:

Good morning
Thank you for your trust in Desjardins.

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

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.
If you have other Canadian banking questions, we invite you to directly contact our team dedicated to newcomers and non-residents:
+ 1-514-875-4266, option 1 [email protected]
Hello !
I already put a comment for the additional 23kgs of luggage, I also want to thank you for the good Desjardins plan and also for the car rental! Top !
Hello,
Is the offer also valid for co-op internships?
Thank you
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,

Hello,
I followed the account opening procedure in order to benefit from the free one year. I have received an email (automatic?) From the bank confirming my request to open an account.
However I have no other information, in particular I would have liked to be able to transfer funds before my departure to have access to it as of my arrival.
Do you know how can I do?
thank you,
Hello.
Thank you for your interest in Desjardins.
– Following your online request, you will receive an email from [email protected]
CAUTION: Do not forget to check your SPAMS box or spam.
– Respond by email to the questions asked by attaching a digitized version of your passport and your acceptance letter.
– You will then receive a Bank Identity Statement which will allow you to make your 1st transfer of funds to Canada.
If you have other Canadian banking questions, we invite you to contact our dedicated team for newcomers and non-residents directly by writing to [email protected]

Hello,
I arrived in Montreal 2 days ago as a PVTiste and I would like to take advantage of this offer, however when I wish to register, I see this message there:
”
This request is for you if …
You have taken steps to immigrate to Canada.
Your arrival on Canadian soil is planned within 12 months.
It is NOT for you if …
You have already arrived in Canada. If so, use the form
”
Does this mean that I cannot take advantage of this offer now that I have set foot on Canadian soil?
When I click on the link to open an account, you ask “Provide your social insurance number (SIN).” But as a Belgian, I do not have a SIN but an NISS, a Belgian national number which allows identify a person in the Belgian social security system, is that also good?
Thank you in advance for your answers
Hello again, I withdraw my question on the NAS, but I maintain the first, sorry.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to Canada !
You can also take advantage of this offer once there.
You should ideally go to our service point dedicated to newcomers at 1101 rue Ste Catherine Ouest, Montreal, QC, H3B 1J4.
or by writing to them at [email protected]
You will be able to benefit from the 12 months of free (and other benefits) AND the month of Globe PVT insurance offered (if you are insured by ACS)
