Emigrating to Canada
As home to a rich history, breath-taking landscapes and cultural elements incorporating French and Native American influences, Canada may seem like a whole new world for those looking to move away from Australia. Given that it's an English-speaking nation, emigrating to Canada is often seen as a safe and comfortable move for Australians, though TorFX is keen to highlight that things can be a little more complicated than you may think - in regards to international money transfers, at the very least.
If you want to move for a new life, you cannot afford to push Canadian dollar exchange rates to the back of your mind. This is because they're often volatile and could lead you to lose out on money unnecessarily, especially if you're moving large amounts from a Australian bank account. Still, people often ignore the currency exchange market and use high street banks to convert their money, even though TorFX could save you a significant amount.
In order to get the best value for money, you need an expert consultation. At TorFX, we offer fast international currency exchanges completely free of transfer fees, saving you up to $50 per transaction. With excellent exchange rates at your disposal, we also help you avoid the ups and downs of the market with the option to lock in an exchange rate for you for up to two years.
We also assign you with a personal account manager, updating you with market reports and currency breakdowns. They use specialist knowledge to analyse data and help you find the best time to exchange your money in order to get the maximum amount of Canadian dollars for your cash, so you can focus on other important matters.
