You can open an account next time when you visit Ontario. But you need to find an address that you can receive your cheque book.

Yes others have said that. Someone suggested to open an account online with an ON address, but I don't think this is a good idea.

Zagbank is backed by Desjardins which is HQed in Quebec yet they don't offer accounts to Quebecers.

Select ON (o rany other province) and using the rest of your address, the system should recognize your province as QC and adjust it accordingly. If this doesn't work, just call them as they officially support Quebec residents who've opened an account at one pavilion.

Or if you live in the Gatineau area, all you have to do is go across the border to a PC Pavillion in Ottawa. If you happen to travel outside of Quebec, you could also walk into a PC Pavillion to open an account.

I don't think they could do that with a Quebec address, could they? Anyone done this?

Yep. Been using PC Financial for almost 2 years with a Montreal address on file. Quebec customers are limited to a single account though, cannot have more, at least that was what I was told when visiting a branch in Ottawa.

Remember that Banking is of federal jurisdiction so any bank account from a federal charted entity (not provincial credit unions) will be available a mari usque ad mare that is from coast to coast.

of course, but if you are in eastern Québec, I guess you can go to New Brunswick to open one.
