Transfer details
For a one-off GBP transfer to Canada, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is WorldRemit.
WorldRemit was the cheapest on 21 of the 21 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Canada.
On a 6,000 GBP transfer, WorldRemit delivers the most CAD.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/CAD rate.
You have 3 ways to pay, including bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.
Paying from your bank is usually the fastest, since most companies connect to your banking app via Open Banking.
Anywhere a debit card works, Apple Pay and Google Pay usually do too.
First time round you'll need to confirm your name, date of birth, address and a photo ID.
On a £6,000 transfer the verification is normally instant but can take a couple of hours.
How much GBP you send to Canada heavily affects the best ways and the cheapest options. Use the table below to check how the cheapest options change and how much more you'd get by comparing.
Our analysis shows WorldRemit was the cheapest in 100% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted, and in 86% of all the transfers it quoted.

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send £6,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what £6,000 converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. The bank line is the cheapest bank available on each day.
The dashed line is what you'd get at the mid-market rate with no fees, and the blue line is the cheapest option that day.
When the blue line goes above the dashed one, you're getting more CAD per GBP than the mid-market rate can offer.
This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.
In the past month, a money transfer company beat the mid-market rate on 3 of the last 30 days.
Right now, WorldRemit pays 11,389.72 CAD on 6,000 GBP, which is 0.51 CAD less than the mid-market amount.
Today's payout is the highest in the past month.
Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Canada.
We've tracked 238 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 8 amounts over the past month.

Different companies can come out cheapest depending on the day and the amount you send.
To keep things fair, we only count the comparisons each company appeared in, and only analyse companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).
Today WorldRemit is the cheapest, but it only quotes some of the amounts we track, so it isn't included in these figures.
There are many ways to send money to Canada from the UK, including currency broker, app, online, multi-currency account, global business account, and in person, and more.
For small & frequent transfers
If you send small amounts back home to Canada, say weekly or monthly, an app like WorldRemit is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
It charges £0.99 in fees, has -0.01% markup, lets you save recipient details, and CAD will arrive in minutes.
Over the past month, WorldRemit was the cheapest app on 100% of the days it appeared for £6,000 transfers.
For one off transfers
Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized CAD transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.
Online companies like Wise often have higher limits and/or first time promos.
Of the 12 companies we compared, Wise is the cheapest online service and will get you CA$11,354.04 on a £6,000 transfer.
In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 27 of the 29 days it quoted.
For large transfers
Currency brokers like Key Currency are the best for £10,000+ transfers (things like house deposits, education fees, relocation, etc.).
You get a dedicated account manager to handle your transfer to Canada, and real human support.
Key Currency charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.25% markup on top of the current GBP/CAD rate.
The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .
Our analysis shows Key Currency was the cheapest broker in 90% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted.
For spending and receiving
Multi-currency accounts let you hold and spend Canadian Dollars abroad like a local.
Wise offers the best multi-currency account.
With it, converting £6,000 to CAD will get you CA$11,354.04 after fees.
If you don’t have CAD in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Wise in Canada.
Once you have CAD in the account, there are no extra fees from Wise for spending or holding it (local ATM charges may still apply).
Over the past month, it came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.
For business transfers
Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.
For suppliers, freelancers, salaries, or invoices in Canada, companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle batch and recurring payments a consumer app simply can’t.
Pay-in and pay-out methods will affect how much GBP you deposit and how much CAD your recipient gets. Use the table below to see how different options change how much you pay and what they get.
The overall best and cheapest way to send £6,000 to Canada is via WorldRemit, using a debit card to deposit GBP and bank deposit to receive CAD.
You have 3 pay-in options for transfers to Canada, including bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.
The cheapest pay-in option is bank transfer.
The fastest option in the UK is almost always bank transfer, since most companies use Open Banking and Faster Payments System (FPS).
The most expensive deposit option is credit card.
Be careful with credit card deposits, since your bank often treats it as a cash advance and will charge interest.
Money can reach Canada by bank deposit and cash pickup, and each delivery method comes with its own fees.
The cheapest way to receive money in Canada is with bank deposit on average.
Receiving cash
MoneyGram is the cheapest option for cash pickup (getting you CA$11,227.80 on a £6,000 transfer).
Digital wallets
Your recipient can receive CAD directly into a digital wallet (like PayPal or similar) which usually takes a few minutes to arrive.

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Canada such as limits, taxes, and safety.
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £6,000 transfer to Canada:
Cheapest way to send money to Canada
The cheapest way is to use WorldRemit, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get CA$11,389.72, which is 0.25% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Canada
The fastest way is to use Revolut via bank transfer deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get CA$11,279.50 and it will arrive in within minutes.
There is no legal limit and no tax on sending your own money abroad.
Main hard limits come from your bank or money transfer company, often around £10,000 to £25,000 online (which you can usually increase in the app).
Also, the "£10,000 declaration" only applies to physically carrying cash through the border, not online transfers.
And on bigger GBP/CAD transfers (roughly £10,000 up) expect a source-of-funds check, such as a payslip or a statement.
These are anti-money-laundering checks, and they can hold your transfer up, so have the documents ready.
Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.
For example, sending £6,000 with WorldRemit will get you 11,389.72 CAD, that’s including £0.99 fee and -0.01% in exchange rate markup.
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Canada.
And, regular gifts from your normal income are free of inheritance tax straight away, with no cap and no seven-year wait, as long as you can still cover your usual living costs.
Only ever use a provider authorised by the FCA, which you can check on the FCA register in under a minute.
The rules in place for any scams cover domestic pound transfers only, on a transfer abroad you're less protected.
Always confirm who you're really sending to before you send, because there's little recourse after.
