Trying to setup a bank account here. You need Canadian ID at most places, for example a visa with a photo. Of course, Canadian visas don't have photos, so you need a Canadian drivers license, which you can't get yet. Or a permanent residency card, which you qualify for in 6 months. Did I mention you need that bank account to put your pay in, and to have your rent taken from?
Ended up with HSBC, simply because I know they can handle foreigners, being a foreign bank themselves. I now have two accounts with them - a savings and a chequing account. Don't ask why. :)
