How to send money from Canada to China

Canada is home to over a million people from China - in Vancouver alone 20% of the population now identifies as Chinese.

If you’re a Chinese expat living in Canada and you need to send money home to friends and family, you’ll want to find the cheapest way to send money from Canada to China. This is because money transfers are often sent with high commission charges, hidden fees and poor exchange rates.

How to find the cheapest way to send money from Canada to China

The only way that you’ll be able to find the cheapest way to send money from Canada to China is by knowing how much it will cost you in terms of fees, and how much your recipient will receive (this depends on the exchange rate).

If you’re using an offline method like a bank, money transfer store or post office, this will involve going in-store and asking the cashier how much it’ll cost.

However, it may be quicker and easier to just check online by using a money transfer calculator from an online platform. This will help you to compare ways to send money from Canada to China really quickly, and will help you decide which is the cheapest.

To get you started with this, check out Paysend’s money transfer calculator on our home page.

Why International Money Transfers Fail – and How Often It Happens

Sending money abroad should feel simple, but if your international transfer is delayed or not received, it’s natural to wonder what went wrong.

International money transfers can be delayed, held, or returned for several reasons, most commonly due to compliance checks, missing information, processing cut-off times, or intermediary bank reviews. Industry reporting suggests that while the majority of transfers complete successfully, a small but meaningful share requires manual handling or additional processing, which can cause delays.

It’s important to understand that international money transfers involve multiple institutions, compliance checks, and settlement systems. Because of this, delays or exceptions are not unusual and are typically linked to process or regulatory requirements rather than technical failures or user mistakes.

With that in mind, this guide explains why international transfers may not be received as expected, how often this happens and what you can realistically do next.
