As your Canada Working Holiday (IEC) comes to an end, it's easy to overlook important administrative tasks. Many people only realize after returning home that they can't access their bank account, receive verification codes, or complete tax refunds. A little preparation before leaving Canada can save you a lot of trouble later.<\/p>\n

To help you avoid these headaches, I've put together four essential tasks to complete before leaving Canada\u2014especially when it comes to managing your bank account. A little preparation can save you significant international calling costs and unnecessary account fees down the road.<\/p>\n

1. Managing Your Canadian Bank Account: Traditional Banks vs. Online Banks<\/b><\/h4>\n

In Canada, credit cards can usually be cancelled with a simple international phone call. However, closing a traditional bank account\u2014such as those with CIBC or TD\u2014often requires you to visit a branch in person. For many working holiday participants who have already returned home, this can become a major inconvenience.<\/p>\n

Why Do I Recommend Opening Simplii Financial<\/a><\/span>\uff1f<\/h5>\n

If you need to file taxes after leaving Canada\u2014which is common since tax years typically span across calendar years\u2014you'll need to keep at least one Canadian bank account active to receive tax refunds from the CRA or make any required tax payments.<\/p>\n
