To open a Canadian bank account you need an SIN (the equivalent of a USA SSN). If you have established residency, you can get this number at a local gov't office.

I've heard of one particular Canadian bank who's focus is bridging the US/Canadian gap, and supposedly they allow US citizens to open accounts.

If that doesn't work, is there a Canadian equivalent of an EIN in the US (basically a SSN for businesses)? Could a US citizen open a Canadian business and a business bank account?
