Guys I visited Scotia bank today and they said that if you want account through them, then you need to contact them 4 weeks before departure.
Process - Take your PP and COPR and rest will be taken care by Bank
You get a welcome kit and A/C no. in 20-22 days
In one go you can transfer the amount you want to. u get only one chance for Wire Transfer
Scotia bank releases u a advice ( Bank certificate) which is as good as as Bank certificate and works as POF at port of entry
The Banker advised me that any body who wishes to open the account should take prior appointment. I will post the banker's information later
I talked to ICICI and Bajaj Allianz for insurance and they said that they do it for 60 and 30 days respectively for immigrant Visa
Bajaj Allianz call center did tell me that they do it for 6 months but when I asked them to send this to me on e-mail in writing they backed off and said that they do it for 30 months for travellers on immigrant visa.
Not sure which Travel Insurance Company can provide 90 days Insurance on Immigrant Visa. Has any body checked that
When I contacted scotiabank in hyderabad, the banker here said that they need not less than 40 days to complete account opening process.
May be delhi branch takes less time which is good...

Is anybody landing on march 16th. For POF , if we show the US bank statement is it ok or if we take a demand draft in USD, is that is allowed. please comment. I am landing on March 16th in canada from US.
The Bank statement may not work. There have been cases where it has worked and there have been cases where it has not, so why take risk and spoil your landing experience
Draft is a good choice
