Receiving in Canada
- Canadian accounts use a 5-digit transit number, a 3-digit institution number and the account number; the SWIFT/BIC code routes the wire. Give all three — the wire is rejected or delayed if any is missing.
- A GIC is funded through a designated Canadian bank's program (Scotiabank, CIBC, ICICI Bank Canada, SBI Canada and others); each publishes its own wiring instructions and a fixed CAD amount — wire in CAD so the credited amount matches after fees.
- Canadian banks commonly charge the recipient an incoming wire fee, often around CAD 15–18; check the beneficiary's account tariff.
Canada spans 8.5–13.5 hours behind IST; a morning IST transfer usually reaches the Canadian bank on the same Canadian business day.
