Banks will not open account in canada if you don't have permanent residency or social insurance number, so with visitors visa, you may save yourself the trouble.. look for the branch of your own bank in canada, they may be more accommodating if they exist.
As a visitor you can stay in canada for the 6 months, it just has to be as a visitor - for pleasure. You cannot work nor study, nor look for job, nor seek residency.

You are also wrong about being not being able to look for a job whilst in Canada. Of course you are. When I came over for my interview, I told the IO exactly why I was there and he had no problem with it whatsoever.
You are a visitor not a tourist. Visitor's don't necessarily have to do touristy things!
