In the nineties, a large number of Russians emigrated to various countries of the far abroad. Canada has become one of the popular destinations for migration due to its policy of attracting foreign specialists. Nevertheless, emigrants often maintain strong ties with Russia, and friends or relatives who remain in their homeland may need to send money to them. How can this be done?
It is necessary
- - money to send;
- - passport;
- - name, surname, place of residence of the addressee;
- - details of his bank account.
Instructions
Step 1
Find out the coordinates of the person to whom you are going to send money - how his first and last name is spelled correctly in Latin letters in Canadian documents, in which city he lives and, if possible, his bank account number.
Step 2
If you do not know the account number or you need to send money urgently, use the Western Union money transfer system. Find a branch of this organization in your city or a bank branch that carries out such transfers. This can be done using a special yellow sticker with the words “Western Union. Money Transfers”on the doors of the bank.
Step 3
Fill out the receipt for sending the Western Union transfer. Enter the last name, first name and city of the person to whom you are sending money. Give this form to the bank employee along with the amount to be sent, the transfer fee and your passport. In return, you will be given a check and a piece of paper with the transfer number. You must inform the recipient of this number so that he, along with it and an identity document, comes to his branch of the money transfer service and receives the sent amount. Usually it can be picked up within a few hours.
Step 4
If your addressee has a bank account, you can transfer money for him. To do this, you must either open your account with any financial institution, or find a bank that makes transfers abroad without opening an account. The simpler option is the first. In this case, come to the branch of your bank, contact the teller and fill in the payment receipt issued by him. Indicate the name and surname of the account holder to which you are sending money, his address, bank name, SWIFT code and account number. Your addressee can obtain this information at the branch of his bank and pass it on to you.
Step 5
If necessary, top up your account through the cashier. Do not forget that you will also be charged a commission for the transfer. After that, your addressee will be able to receive their money already in a Canadian bank in 3-5 working days.
