Frequently asked questions
Is a Canadian company required?
Usually, for a business account — we form the company and open the account together.
Do I need to travel?
Some banks require a visit; we confirm upfront per institution.
Can you guarantee the account will be approved?
No adviser can. Banks decide on their own criteria. We prepare your file to the standard that gives it the best chance and are candid about the options.
Do I have to visit in person?
It depends on the institution and its current procedures. We tell you what is required for your case before you commit.
