Travel Money Card in Canada

I am moving to Canada for one year in September. I have looked in to opening a Canadian bank account online here in the UK but by the looks of it I need to be over their when opening it.
I've had a look online and came across a Travel Money Card from the Post Office. You preload it with the funds you plan on taking and use it like a debit card. I am just wondering if I could walk in to a bank with the card and transfer the money in to the new account?
Thanks

Never heard of the card over here. Is it just like a debit card?
Are you moving as a student or for an employer? If it's work, contact the HR office and ask about banking for payroll purposes.0 -
You will almost certainly have to withdraw cash with the card to pay into the account. There will be daily limits as to how much you can take at a time.
Worth asking though0
