My opinion.

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛1. You don't need to put so much money in chequing account. Usually 4000 is more than enough. 1500 to 2000 for the baseline required by the bank to waive the fee; the others for a month's rental cost and living cost.

2. There are many kinds of mutual fund. Some of them are loaded (this means you can't sell them before the maturity), and others are non-loaded (you can sell them at any time). US dollar or CAD dollar only depends on what you have, and I think it doesn't matter. (In TD bank, if you have both US and CAD mutual fund, when you transffer from US funds to CAD fund, the exchange ratio is the average (Pin Jun Jia)). You will need CAD right after your landing. So take about 5000 - 10000 CAD (now the exchange rate is much higher, check www.x-rates.com or www.tdbank.ca), and others in US dollar.

3. Yes, term deposit is DING QI CUN KUAN. You could check the interete rate. Usually, term deposit is higher than mutual fund (non-load). However, term deposit is only SAVING money, but mutual fund is INVESTING (if you choose a right investing portfolio, the return could be higher than term deposit).更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

  • 枫下家园 / 理财投资税务 / 多谢bloor。还有个问题:是带美金还是加币好?
    我计划chequing account 存一年的生活费,全部是加币;如果开Mutual Fund account,是美金好还是加币好?另外Term deposit是不是就是定期存款帐户,和Mutual Fund account比哪个好?

      • Thanks bloor. I spend a few hours on the website: www.tdbank.ca. In my opinion, 1+1 GIC is also a good chioce for long term saving. Before I get a stable job, SAVING is better than INVESTING . Thanks for your great help.
        • Check the interest rate of US$ term deposit. The annual rate of 3 Month US$ term deposit in CIBC was more 5% last September.
