The Welcome Kit contains your Customer Identification Number (CIF), which will be your Login ID for online banking. Also enclosed are the Legal Brochure, Disclosure Statement, Hello Canada Account Terms and Conditions, Internet Banking Password and product brochure. In addition, you will also receive:
Account confirmation: You will receive a confirmation letter after your account has been opened. This letter will provide your account number and additional account details.
Certificate of Balance: A Certificate of Balance, which will serve as proof of funds at the port of entry in Canada, can be issued to you upon successful completion of an outward remittance to your Hello Canada Account. All you have to do is submit a request when you place your remittance instruction. We recommend that you remit your funds at least 20 days before you leave for Canada.
Debit Card and Cheque book: Once you arrive in Canada and submit the required documents at your ICICI Bank Canada branch, you will be given your Debit Card. You can also request your first free personalized cheque book, which will be mailed to the address you provide.
Cash for initial period: We understand that it may take some time for you to provide the required documents, and that you may require some cash for your day-to-day activities in the interim. Your Hello Canada Account allows you to withdraw up to CAD 5,000 before activation is completed, for your day-to-day needs subject to available balance in the account in maximum two transactions.
