Transferring funds with ScotiaBank

I haven't had time to check with them but thought maybe one of you Canucks here might know the answer to this:

If I have a ScotiaBank account in Canada and open up a ScotiaBank account in Mexico is one able to transfer funds between the two accounts through on-line banking or does it still have to be a wire transfer like from one bank to another?

I'm thinking about larger amounts of cash. Let's say I buy a house or car. Can I simply go on-line and transfer a large sum from my Canadian account to my Mexican account? I have read about people writing checks but have a hard time believing that someone would accept a personal check from a foreign bank for such a large purchase. When I received a damage deposit back on a foreign check my Canadian bank held it for 5 weeks before releasing the funds.

I think the only way you're going to find an answer to your question is to ask BOTH Scotia Banks the question.
BTW, having just sold our house on the coast...Being as we and the buyers are Canadian we accepted a transfer of Canadian dollars to our Canadian account. That process took a whole six HOURS. It saved the buyers from converting to U.S. dollars and transfering it down here. The point being...ask questions and get creative...there are easy solutions to most things.
