Can an Italian visitor to Canada open a bank account?

Generally visitors to Canada can not open any account in here. The same is case with all countries. A person who is a visitor and plans to reside in a country only for a short term cannot open a bank account.

Bank account facilities are granted only to individuals who plan on residing in a country for a longer period of time (atleast 6 months or more) or people who have come to work in the country on a workers permit (in this case irrespective of the duration of stay)
