Microsoft (Vancouver) Relocation Lump Sum

Hello! Does anybody know how the relocation lump sump works at Microsoft Canada if someone is moving from another country? I'm not able to open a Canadian account before moving but I have a US account. Thank you

I moved 5 years ago, I had to self fund, then they gave me the money after I arrived. It was a while ago so may be different but that was my experience.

Was it with your first paycheck ?

Sorry, I'm making things up, I just remembered that I took the package šŸ™ˆ. It did come with a cash amount, however I can't recall if it came with first paycheck or out of band. Sorry I'm no good!

Be care as B.C. taxes are horrific, 59% marginal rate for any decent software engineer ...
