I don't think you need to be a resident to open a bank account.
I didn't have to , back 12 years ago.
Just come on over rent an apartment go to the bank tell them that you got the job here and you wanna open a bank account .Give them your address they will mail you a bank card a month later.
I would go and see Canadian immigration lowyer . He'll help you, it shouldn't take more then a year to get your permanent residence card. It will cost you between 5-7 k .
UK books are the safest in the world when it comes to gambling.
I should say 2ed best!!!!!!!!!!
Australian books are the best Canbet in particular .In Australia book has to have same amount of money with a government

My self i have "moneybookers" account you can deposit and withrow to any europian sportsbook .The safest by far "betfair" UK exchange .The biggest in the world.
If you deposit from your Bank account to Moneybookers . And lets say you won . You don't even have to call the book withrow money to Moneybookers 1-2 days .From moneybookers to your bank account 2-3 days .That's why i don't use visa .How ever once you open an account with moneybookers they will send you a mail(with a code) to your home address to verefy you .So you need to rent an apartment for sure.This is the best option by far you don't need to bag for your money nor send an e mails %^_.
Any way GL. And run fast before your goverment seals the border.
