It would seem that FirstOntario membership is limited to Ontario residents. It also isn't obvious that there is any way to connect an external account to this – it seems more to be high-interest option for FirstOntario members, rather than a potential stand-alone savings account like the ones tracked here.

I did a bit of work and took a very small sample and found where we can use Credit Unions in another province.
