Can I open my address before I even land in Montreal?

Yes, opening is done entirely online from your departure country, with a passport and selfie verified by Stripe Identity. That gives you a Canadian address to put on your arrival forms, your SIN application, a remote bank account opening, or your immigration file before the flight. The Monde plan, offered at $249 a month for the first year to clients supported by Kebek IA, includes the bilingual attestations those steps require. On arrival, your box is already active and any mail waiting for you is visible in the dashboard.
