Typically from INR 1100 to 2000 depending on amount transferred.

Guys, have a look at mydivert.com

You can get a Candian Telephone number from this website for a small price and can use that number to get calls from the Canadian employers. The site facilitates forwarding calls to your Indian telephone number

Yeah, ICICI bank also offers the account to transfer money to canada and they also offer credit card and insurance on that. Info is available on icicibank.ca

But I talked to couple of different ICICI branches and they had no idea reagrding such services by their bank and recommended visiting sec 18 branch in Noida, so I dropped the idea using them

Finally I went with scotia bank for account and bajaj allianj for 90 day insurance

i am for opening account for scotia bank i have few questions if you can answer

1. do i have to deposit any money for opening an account,
2. can my dad be joint holder , he is not a canadian PR,
3. what about credit they offer ?
4. do they accept indian bank cheq. for money transfer.

Yes. You would need to take her PP and COPR to bank as well.

Also to activate the account both of you would need to go to the Bank in Canada. If you go alone, account gets activated but only in your name
