Money transfer from UK to Canada?

Posted January 28th, 2012 by immigratecanada and filed in Immigration to Canada

Hi

Can anyone tell me the cheapest way to transfer my GBP to CAD when I immigrate? I don’t yet have a Canadian bank account as I am not living there yet. I have a paypal account so when I sell my house could I open a bank account in Canada and send the money from my british bank into my canadian bank via paypal? It sounds obvious but if you need to pay for this service elsewhere there must be something wrong with this option. Do you think? Also, if anyone does know, please can you tell me the commision likely to be deducted?

Can I on emigration from Canada get a lump sum or transfer of my CPP.?

I have been working in Canada on a temporary work visa for 2 years. My visa is finishing soon and I will return to NZ. On leaving Canada can I get a pay out of the monies paid into CPP or transferred to another pension plan in NZ. Having paid into the scheme for only 2 years I do not think I am eligible for a pension anyway and if so the pay out would be minimal.
