I've just found the answer to this problem. You have to add an extra digi to the branch number as per bellow.

In a Canadian bank transit number, the last digit of the branch number, with few exceptions, indicates the geographical location of the branch.

Branch numbers ending with:

* 0 are located in British Columbia and Yukon
* 1 are located in Western Québec including Montreal and surrounding areas
* 2 are located in Ontario including Toronto and surrounding area
* 3 are located in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland excluding Labrador
* 4 are located in New Brunswick
* 5 are located in Eastern Québec including Labrador
* 6 are located in Eastern Ontario including Ottawa and surrounding area
* 7 are located in Manitoba and North-Western Ontario
* 8 are located in Saskatchewan
* 9 are located in Alberta, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut (?)

I'm having the exact same issue. I'm also with TD. There's got to be a way around this problem!

I am having the same trouble, my bank is also TD Canada Trust. I have tried putting an extra zero at the front and that has not helped.  My account has a four digit transit number and PayPals form only seems to accept five digits.
