Attention Canadians: Does anyone have an RRSP with HSBC Canada ?

[allane]

I am contemplating opening one.  But I want to know if they will permit me to make withdrawals/transfers while I am here in Thailand. 

I am sure someone will say "Why don't you ask them?".  I am planning to do that, but also hope to find corroboration here. I have a bank account with them, which I only opened because an employee in one of their branches assured me that I would be able to request transfers from here in Thailand.  Then, the first time I tried to do one, the very same person told me that I could only do one if I came into the branch !
