💱 Currency exchange options in Canada
Immigrants in Canada have several options for exchanging money:
✅ Currency exchange offices
These are often located in airports, shopping areas or city centres. While convenient, they may charge higher fees.
✅ Banks
Reliable but often offer less competitive rates and slower service.
✅ Online currency exchange services
Some websites offer online currency transfers – but they may charge hidden fees or require additional verification.

We combine speed, great rates and personal service - no hidden fees, no stress.
