A student must have their enrolment in school to open a student checking account, as the name implies. The definition of a student in the eyes of Canadian banks can differ. But, it frequently implies that to qualify for these accounts, you must live in Canada and get a full-time enrolment in a post-secondary school there. Also, you will be required to present proof of enrollment, such as a student ID, a most recent transcript, or an admission letter. Some financial institutions also provide student checking accounts for younger primary or secondary education students.
