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.
