Current rate
1 AUD = 0.9 CAD as of 2026-05-18. Both currencies are classic "commodity dollar" plays — AUD tracks iron ore and LNG prices, CAD tracks WTI crude and natural gas. Bilateral trade is modest (~$4B) but the migration and student corridor is significant, with ~70K Australians of Canadian heritage and growing Canada-to-Australia working holiday flows. AUD has weakened modestly vs CAD over 5 years as the Bank of Canada turned more hawkish than the RBA in 2024-25, and China's slower iron ore demand has weighed on AUD more than US oil demand has weighed on CAD.

❓ FAQ
AUD to CAD FAQ.
Best way to transfer AUD to CAD for migration or property?
For amounts above AUD 25K (typical for property deposits): Wise, OFX, and TorFX consistently beat ANZ, CBA, and Westpac retail FX desks by 60-90 bps. For institutional sizes (AUD 250K+): NAB and RBC corporate FX desks negotiate competitively. Avoid wire transfers via PayPal — the FX markup is 3.5-4%.
Why do AUD and CAD move so closely together?
Both are commodity-linked floating currencies with similar economic profiles: advanced economies, high household debt, dependent on Chinese commodity demand (Australia) and US energy demand (Canada). The AUD/CAD pair often trades in a 0.85-1.00 range, with divergence driven mostly by relative central bank stance (RBA vs BoC) and the iron-ore vs oil price ratio.
Should Australian retirees in Canada hold AUD or CAD?
Generally CAD for living expenses (avoid constant conversion cost), but keep an AUD buffer for Australian property income, super withdrawals, and Medicare-related expenses if you maintain ties. Use Wise multi-currency or Revolut to hold both without conversion friction. Tax treatment differs — Australian super withdrawn while Canadian-resident may be taxable in Canada.
