Forecasts for CAD to CNY

 

The exchange rate forecast for CAD to CNY suggests a complex interplay of various economic factors that could shape the future of both currencies. Analysts note that the Canadian dollar (CAD), often referred to as the ‘loonie’, has recently received support from rising oil prices, which is critical due to Canada's status as a major oil exporter. Currently, the CAD is trading at 5.2053 CNY, which is slightly above its three-month average of 5.1582. However, it's essential to consider that oil prices have recently dropped to 14-day lows near 64.13 USD, significantly lower than the three-month average of 67.43 USD. The volatility in oil prices, with recent fluctuations ranging by 24.7%, could create downward pressure on the CAD if this trend continues.

How to get a good CAD to CNY exchange rate

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting Canadian dollar to Chinese yuan:

  1. Shop around for the best CAD/CNY exchange rate: Exchange rates can vary significantly between different currency exchange providers, so it's important to compare rates from different sources before making a conversion.
  2. Timing is important: Keep an eye on the CAD/CNY rate on currency markets, as exchange rates can fluctuate frequently. Try to make your transactions when the exchange rate is in your favor. You can do this easily with our BER Smart Rate Tracker.
  3. Use a credit/debit or travel card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees: Some credit cards charge additional fees for transactions made in a foreign currency, so it's important to check with your card issuer to see if they charge these fees and what their exchange rate is.
  4. Use a multi-currency account: Having a multi-currency account allows you to hold and transfer money in both CAD and CNY at close to the interbank rate. It also allows you to make payments or withdrawals in the local currency while avoiding high conversion fees.
  5. Buy currency in advance: If you know that you will need foreign currency in the future, consider buying it in advance when the exchange rate is favorable.

The key is reducing excessive costs and fees

Generally speaking, if you are buying Chinese yuan with Canadian dollar, then it's better for the CAD/CNY 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.

It's worth noting that while these tips can help you save on exchange rates, it's important to be aware that no single method is guaranteed to provide the best exchange rate in every situation, and it may require some research and comparison-shopping to find the best option for your specific needs.

How is the Expat life in China?

The expat life in China can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, including one's location, job, and personal circumstances.

In major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, the expat community is well-established and there are many resources available for newcomers, such as expat-oriented social groups and clubs. Living in these cities can offer a good balance of modern conveniences and cultural experiences.

However, life in smaller cities or more rural areas can be more challenging, as the expat community may be smaller and there may be fewer resources available.

Working in China as an expat can be both rewarding and challenging. Some companies will provide good support to expats and may even offer language classes and relocation assistance, while others may not.

Expats in China may experience culture shock and find it difficult to adjust to certain aspects of Chinese culture, such as the strict social hierarchy and the emphasis on maintaining "face". Communication and language barriers can also be an issue, though many expats do learn to speak Chinese to varying degrees.

Expats in China also need to be aware of the different laws and regulations in the country, such as China's strict censorship laws, and be prepared to adapt to the local way of doing things.

Overall, the expat life in China can be both exciting and challenging, offering unique opportunities to experience a different culture and way of life. It is a good idea to be prepared for the different experiences you may encounter, and to have a good support system in place, whether it be friends, family or a community of expats.
