About the Canadian Dollar

The Canadian Dollar was introduced in 1858, replacing the Canadian pound. It floated freely from 1970, creating what became known as the 'petrodollar' due to Canada's oil exports, making CAD sensitive to commodity prices.

Why CAD matters for remittance

Canada has a large South Asian diaspora. The CAD→INR corridor is growing rapidly with increasing Indian immigration to Canada. Over $5 billion CAD is sent to India annually.
