Maple News reports that TD Bank and CanadaVisa are hosting a live webinar designed for newcomers to Canada, focusing on understanding the banking system, everyday money management, and building a solid financial foundation.
Scheduled for Thursday, August 13, 2026, at 11:00 AM EDT, the session will guide attendees through opening a first Canadian bank account, using chequing and savings accounts, and choosing between debit and credit cards. It will also demystify credit scores and outline steps to establish a healthy credit history as a newcomer.
Participants will learn budgeting basics and practical money-management practices tailored to newcomers, alongside TD’s newcomer resources and banking solutions intended to support international students and new residents settling into Canadian life.
TD will highlight its long-standing presence in Canada—over 160 years of serving customers—with thousands of branches and multilingual support in more than 80 languages. The bank promotes its New to Canada Banking Package and related services, with options to book an appointment or explore the TD site for more information.
