What is your ideal date for a bank account appointment? We recommend booking it for the day after your arrival (no Sundays or public holidays). We will do our best to secure your requested date, but we cannot guarantee it. CIBC will email you directly with your appointment date, time, and location—be sure to check your spam/junk mail regularly. If you complete this form late or during peak arrival periods, we may need to book your appointment for the following day. While it is not mandatory to bank with CIBC, you must open a Canadian bank account for payroll purposes. You cannot use a WISE or affiliate account as your primary bank account in Canada.*
