    There is no statute of limitations on bank fraud in Canada, the Crown decides because it is an indictable offence.

    I don't understand part of your explanation, You say 'someone' used your bank card to deposit bad cheques. How did they get your bank card, and why are you worried if you know someone else did it?

    It is not the depositing, it is using the money... so, who took the money out.. who was using the account, who was watching the statements ?

    Bank fraud in canada
    My bank card was used to deposit bad cheques, in 2001 in montreal,, when I found out I called the bank and they closed the account.. I was in europe studying at that time, but I want to Return now to canada. The guy did not get any Money from the 20000 dollars scam,, because the bank closed the account after I found out and called them to Close it... I am wondering if I could be indicted for fraud in montreal

    If you reported the problem and the account was closed, with no loss to the back, there should be nothing to indict you for.
