What we've measured on CAD → LKR
Across 59 days of our own recorded quotes, the gap between the best and worst provider on this corridor has run at a median of 0.8% (widest single day: 1.3%). On a 1,000 CAD transfer that is the difference between the best and worst choice.
The best provider has changed 5 times in that window, across 2 different providers (Paysend has led on the most days). This corridor is genuinely competitive, so the cheapest option today may not be the cheapest next week.
Provider rates on this corridor are measured against Wise's published mid-market rate. No central bank publishes a rate for LKR, so the yardstick here comes from Wise — which we also rank, and which therefore sits exactly at the reference by definition. We disclose this rather than hide it.
Recipients in Sri Lanka can be paid via cash pickup, a bank account and a mobile wallet, based on what the providers above actually price for this corridor.
Figures come from our own append-only rate history, not from provider marketing. See the methodology and rate trends.
Sending CAD from Canada
Money transfer companies sending from Canada register with the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) as Money Services Businesses. Transfers are commonly funded by bank account (Interac) or card.
This page compares providers for the Canada → Sri Lanka corridor specifically, ranked by how much LKR your recipient actually receives after fees and the exchange-rate margin — not by the headline fee alone.
CAD to LKR — Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest way to send CAD to LKR?
Paysend currently offers the best value for CAD → LKR, delivering 236,234 LKR for 1,000 CAD. We rank by the total amount received after fees and exchange-rate markup, updated every 4 hours. Note that the lead has changed 5 times in the last 59 days across 2 providers, so today's winner is not a permanent answer — check before each transfer.
What is the current CAD to LKR exchange rate?
The best available rate is 1 CAD = 236.23 LKR via Paysend. The reference (mid-market) rate is 238.26, taken from Wise's published mid-market rate. Across 59 days of our own records, the spread between the best and worst provider on this corridor has run at a median of 0.8%. Rates are updated every 4 hours. Always confirm the final rate on the provider's site before sending.
Are there hidden fees when sending CAD to LKR?
On this corridor the two costs split roughly 0.41% in visible fees and 0.68% in exchange-rate markup, averaged over the 3 providers here that publish a fee — so the markup is the larger part, about 62% of what you pay. 1 of them charge no fee at all on this corridor, which is exactly why fee alone is a poor guide. We rank by the amount your recipient actually receives, which captures both. Learn how fees work →
