Hi All,
Wondering how immigrants and new residents bring their overseas money into Canada? Really, what means are used to do currency conversion from one´s home country denomination?
Bringing bank checks, inter-bank transfer, wire transfer? But commissions and exchange rates at Canadian banks are not great when doing it this way.
There´s internet foreign exchange available at much more favorable rates with minimal or no commissions, i.e., Customs House, Forex. Anybody used these? Any other approaches?

(in reply to: Bringing savings to Canada) We did an interbank transfer. The exchange rate wasn´t great, but the convenience and relative speediness made up for it.
