Ei fellow Canucks,, How do you tranfer money to your Canadian bank(s)

How do you transfer money from your Chinese bank account(RMB) to your Cdn bank account(CAD). Is there a better way?  Thanks Eh

Don't have an answer, but I'm in a similar situation - except I'm American. Much of what I'm about to say is unconfirmed, so heed warning.

I read that wire transfers are the most "common" way to transfer money, but documentation on your income is required as part of the transfer. I was also considering opening an account with an international bank like HSBC, then transferring between the accounts when you're home. My coworker said you need a high balance (+10k USD) to get an account, though.

I have Huaxia and my bank at home is a credit union. Anyone with better info please chime in!
