I got my PR through Express Entry last month and got a job offer yesterday. The problem is I'm planning to come to Canada on 11 Feb (Sunday) and my joining date is 12 Feb (Monday). I will try get SIN number first thing on Monday. But what about Bank account. Is there any way by which I can get Canadian bank account number before landing and give it to my employer on Monday , 12 Feb after joining.

Landing Sunday, starting work Monday: how new PRs handle SIN and bank account timing
I have been told by my pre arrival service mentor there is a service Canada kiosk and a cibc branch at Toronto Pearson airport. Not personally landed yet so cant 100% confirm. Check that if you are landing in Toronto. If your employer isnt willing to push your date forward, can you land early? That might also help.
You join on 12th but your pay wont come so soon you will have a week probably to submit your bank account details and sin no to your employer. One fine morning in that week you can head out for sin and bank account task. You can ask your employer to give you half day for this.
I don't think employer would mind getting bank information 1-2 days late, however you can book the nearest bank appointment for 12 now, try to get there on time, you will be able get account information same day, stay calm and positive, Goodluck for the new journey.
You can just add your bank account after if you don’t get it in time. Most employers will accept that. The worst that can happen is delay your pay
I had same experience but I kept 1 week guardband between landing date and joining date. 1 day might not be sufficient to get everything settled
Relax..... Your employer won't force you to provide all these things the very first day. Good Luck👍🏼
