Everyday Costs in in Canada

How much does it really cost to live, work, or travel in ? Here's what to expect for daily expenses and expat living.

Currency Guide for Canada (CA)

Canada is a vibrant country with a diverse culture and stunning landscapes. For a traveler planning a one-week mid-range stay, it's advisable to budget around CAD 1,500–2,000 per person. While the costs can vary depending on the region and activities, this estimate should cover accommodation, meals, transportation, and leisure activities. Here’s what you can expect for typical daily expenses:

  • 🍽️ Meal at a local restaurant: CAD 20–30
  • ☕ Coffee: CAD 4–6
  • 🚍 Public transport fare: CAD 3–4
  • 📱 Prepaid SIM card: CAD 40–60
  • 🏨 Budget hotel or Airbnb: CAD 100–150 per night

In general, Canada can be considered an average to slightly more expensive destination compared to the United States and the UK. While dining and transportation might come at a similar price point to the U.S., accommodation can be pricier, particularly in tourist-heavy cities like Toronto and Vancouver. Compared to the UK, many expenses in Canada, especially food, are generally more affordable, making it a great option for travelers looking to manage their budget.

Insights for Expats in Canada

For expats moving to Canada, the typical monthly living costs can range from CAD 2,500 to CAD 4,000, depending on lifestyle choices and the city of residence. This estimate includes rent, utilities, groceries, and transportation. It’s essential to note that major cities like Toronto and Vancouver might push your costs higher compared to other regions. When it comes to banking, most locals prefer to rely on major banks and credit unions, which offer comprehensive services. Using debit or credit cards is widely accepted, but ensure to notify your bank of travel plans to avoid any issues with overseas transactions.

For sending or receiving money, whether it's better to exchange locally or use online transfer services can depend on the needs of the individual. The exchange rates offered by banks can often be less favorable, and their fees can add up quickly. Services like Wise or OFX usually offer better rates and lower fees, making them more cost-effective for transferring larger sums. As a general tip, for everyday expenses, it’s often worthwhile to withdraw local cash using a debit card for small transactions, while using online services for larger remittances or payments.
