My husband's disability income is deposited directly into a Canuck bank. When he opened the account, he told them he wanted it to be joint. They said I had to be there in person, that he couldn't take papers home to me to sign and mail back. So to this date, it's his account alone. He's up there this week and will try to bring back papers to make it joint. Keeping in mind that we're both Canuck by birth, wtf. We have always been able to establish joint accounts by mail/fax in the US. This smacks of typical Canuck obstructionism. Just because some assistant manager can, he/she will make your life impossible. There's no way I can get to Ontario before next summer.

This sort of thing was the usual when we were there in '03-'05. Don't ever move there; just visit. It's very nice if you just visit.
