Bank accounts for US students...

<p>My wife and i tried to set up an RBC Centura corresponding account to transfer money to Montreal, but the paperwork was very difficult and we started getting letters from all sorts of government agencies wanting us to verify we weren’t transferring money for illegal (terrorist) purposes. We just gave up and found the process described by JPM150 above to be the easiest one. My daughter uses the ATM to transfer from our account to cash, up to $300 per day. McGill does have an easy and automatic way to pay tuition,fees and board. It works great and you get a very competitive exchange rate. I recommend it highly.</p>
