EEEEEEE= this is your 7 digit account number. the full account number needed for pre-autorized payments as well as direct deposit consist of the last 2 groups, so DDDD-EEEEEEE If by any chance the account was a previous Canada Trust account opened prior to 2003, the designation code (DDDD) will probably not be there as this was originally a coding from TD bank. The format is: AAA-BBBBB-CCC-DDDD-EEEEEEE

AAA= Cheque number, found in the top right hand corner as well
BBBBB=Transit number, which is the branch number + 1 digit to identify province of origin
CCC= Institution code, for TD, 004 as mentioned above
DDDD= this is something called designation number, in some cases the same as branch number, but in most cases different, this is only used for pre-autorized payments.
EEEEEEE= this is your 7 digit account number. the full account number needed for pre-autorized payments as well as direct deposit consist of the last 2 groups, so DDDD-EEEEEEE

For direct deposit, one must also use the transit (branch) number. So, the account number for direct deposit purposes will be TTTTT-BBBBAAAAAAA. Apparently, the TTTTT is the only way for the direct deposit to tell exactly which branch your money is supposed to go to, and the dash (-) is needed too. This is all a bit different than making a direct deposit to a U.S. bank. Further update: I called TD Canada Trust again today. For direct deposit, one must also use the transit (branch) number.
