CAD converter for IRCC fees and funds
IRCC charges every fee in Canadian dollars, and its proof of funds tables are in Canadian dollars too. This converter shows what a CAD amount is worth in your currency. Where the Bank of Canada publishes a rate for a currency, the converter uses the Bank's rate. For every other currency it uses a rate from a commercial service (ExchangeRate-API), which is not an official source. Each result names its source and date.

These are daily rates, not live rates, and not the rate a bank, card or transfer service will give you. The Bank of Canada publishes its rates for statistical and analytical use, as averages of the day. Do not use any rate here for a transaction. IRCC fees are paid in Canadian dollars (CAD), so pay IRCC in CAD.
Rate sources: Bank of Canada daily exchange rates (used for every currency the Bank publishes). Rates By Exchange Rate API (commercial service, not an official source, used for every other currency). A rate from CAD, or between two other currencies, is calculated from the published figures.

This converts a published number. It does not assess your funds. IRCC looks at the amount, where the money came from and whether you can use it. Confirm each amount on canada.ca before you rely on it.
Worked example
- Your bank letter is dated June 1, 2026 and shows a balance of 1,200,000 Indian rupees (INR).
- In the converter, pick INR to CAD, choose "A past date" and enter June 1, 2026.
- The Bank of Canada rate that day was 0.01457 CAD for 1 INR. 1,200,000 × 0.01457 = 17,484 CAD.
- IRCC publishes its amounts in CAD and decides for itself how to value your funds. The converted figure helps you read your own documents.

Frequently asked questions
Which currency are IRCC fees paid in?
Canadian dollars. IRCC charges and collects every fee in CAD, so the $100 visitor visa fee is 100 CAD whatever currency you hold. Your bank or card applies its own exchange rate and fees when you pay, so the amount on your statement will not match this converter's figure exactly. The fee calculator totals the IRCC fees for an application.
What exchange rate does the converter use?
The Bank of Canada's published rate, wherever the Bank publishes one. The Bank publishes a daily average rate for each of its currencies once each business day by 16:30 Eastern time, and the converter lists those currencies first, under "Bank of Canada rate". For every other currency, the converter uses a rate from a commercial service, ExchangeRate-API, which is not an official source. Each result names its source and date. No rate here is a live rate or a transaction rate. The Bank itself publishes its figures for statistical and analytical use. IRCC does not publish exchange rates of its own.
The funds calculator, which also shows amounts in your currency
How much is proof of funds in my currency?
Convert the CAD figure for your family size. Express Entry asks one person for 15,263 CAD (IRCC table updated July 7, 2025), and a study permit outside Quebec asks 23,448 CAD for one person's living costs. The table on this page converts both at the rate shown in the converter. IRCC assesses funds in Canadian dollars and decides for itself how to value yours.
Proof of funds for Express Entry: who needs it and which documents count
Can I look up the rate on a past date?
Yes, for the currencies the Bank of Canada publishes. Choose "A past date" and pick a date from the last 12 months or so, such as the date printed on your bank letter. On weekends and holidays there is no rate, so the converter uses the business day before and says so.
Why is the rate different from my bank?
Because banks, credit cards and transfer services add a margin, and sometimes a flat fee, to the reference rate. The rate you actually receive is usually a little less favourable than the rate shown here. The margin slider under the converter shows what a margin does to the result. Ask your provider for its real rate and fees.
