"Please note that TD Canada Trust does not have an IBAN (International Standard for Bank Account Numbers) as it's not used by financial institutions in North America. In Canada, Bank Identifier Code (BIC) can also refer to the SWIFT code."
On the same page the details that TD require are as follows:"The person sending the wire transfer to your TD Canada Trust account must provide the following information about you and your account to their financial institution:

- Your name (as account holder) and your full address

- TD's Swift Code (international): TDOMCATTTOR (applies to all accounts and branch locations)"
