Canadian Online Bank Transfer & Mt. Gox

[Haole]

Hi,

Can any kind soul suggest the easiest way (or a number of options) whereby one can complete an online bank transfer from a Canadian Bank (Royal Bank of Canada) in CAD$ to my new Mt. Gox account please?  Or is an electronic bank transfer not a preferred method at all?  Apparently BitInstant is unable to process these types of transactions until at least next month (December) according to one of their kind reps.

Thanks from a florescent green n00b!

Why not start an account at the Canadian exchange VirtEx?
You will be able to transfer funds to it from RBC with no fees using the online bill payment option.

This. Use Virtex, we are probably the only country with a better option than Mt. Gox.

Thanks a lot!  I was just looking at VirtEx after going through the "Helpful Articles for Newcomers/Bitcoin Merchants" post with a finer toothed comb.

Much appreciated and good to know they are a recommended exchange and alternative to Mt. Gox also Portnoy!

Quite the learning curve with this Bitcoin thing.

Best regards!
