Moving to Canada is a complicated process with many challenges and a lot of stress. Banking in a new country can seem like a daunting prospect too, but it doesn't need to be. Register for our upcoming webinar to learn how to set up your finances in Canada the right way.

By attending the live event you will be able to hear from Taru Walia, Financial Advisor from Scotiabank. You will have an opportunity towards the end of the webinar to ask her any questions you have.
