oh ok, they need Canadian cheque book...
Currently I'm in Europe (France) I haven't any Canadian bank account right now, so I guess they wil declined my application without it..
I plan to open a Canadian Bank Account, but it seems that I can only do this once i'm in the Canada...
I've called some bank but they refused to open an account before my arrival
