Recent exchange rate forecasts for the CAD to AUD highlight a complex interplay of factors influencing each currency. Despite a notable decline in oil prices, the Canadian dollar (CAD) has shown unexpected resilience. Analysts observed that as crude prices fell to a four-year low, the CAD climbed, suggesting a potential decoupling from its traditionally close relationship with oil prices. This situation raises questions about the sustainability of the CAD's strength, particularly given Canada’s position as a major oil exporter and the currency's historical sensitivity to oil price fluctuations.

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting Canadian dollar to Australian dollar:
Generally speaking, if you are buying Australian dollar with Canadian dollar, then it's better for the CAD/AUD exchange rate to be higher.
However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).
The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.
Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.
