We have bank account in Hong Kong. Do we need to register in person in order to receive the cash?

What I did was wrote an official letter and authorized my relative to collect the cheque for me and there is a 3 years expiry on the government cheque, so I didn't collect all 3 of the cheques until last year October.

The other way to do is have my relative to collect it and I deposit it in Canada bank; however, the bank will charge you surcharge.... I cashed my first cheque in Scotia Bank and they charge me quite a bit on the surcharge....
