Using A Canadian Cheque Is Much Like An American Check
If you are an American citizen that has just relocated to Canada, you may want to consider opening a Canadian checking account an learning how to use the Canadian cheque. The Canadian cheque works much like the American check. It is a unit of money transfer that pulls money from one bank account and either allows the recipient to cash it or deposit it into another bank account. The Canadian cheque even looks much like the American check. You will find somewhat familiar sets of routing and checking numbers on the bottom. You write the amount number, and the recipient's name or business title just like you would on a check. The date is typically written at the top right corner, and often is written out in reverse from American checks with the year first, then the month and the day. Aside from this quirk it works the same way.
