About the Canadian Dollar in Pakistan
Canada is one of the fastest-growing destinations for Pakistani migration, and the Canadian dollar mostly arrives with students, new permanent residents and family transfers rather than through a worker remittance corridor.
It floats, and tends to move with commodity prices and with the US dollar, so CAD/PKR can drift against USD/PKR in a way the pegged Gulf currencies never do.
Before you exchange CAD
Canadian notes are polymer and survive travel well, but counters outside the major cities hold little inventory. Selling is usually easier than buying.

Common questions
What is the CAD to PKR rate today?
One Canadian Dollar costs 203.00 Pakistani rupees to buy on the open market, and selling one gets you 198.50 rupees. This is the national open market rate, maintained by our editorial team and updated through the day — an individual counter may quote either side of it.
Why is the CAD rate at the counter different from the interbank rate?
The interbank rate is a wholesale price for trades between banks in size. A counter has to cover the cost of holding physical notes, the risk that the rate moves while it holds them, and its own margin. That gap is normal; what varies is how wide it is, which is why comparing branches is worth doing.
Where can I exchange CAD in Pakistan?
At any exchange company licensed by the State Bank of Pakistan. We list 129 cities with verified branches, and every company shown is checked against the SBP register before it appears.
Do I need documents to buy CAD?
Yes. Your original CNIC, NICOP or POC is always required, and biometric verification applies to Pakistani nationals from USD 500 upwards. A travel purchase also needs a passport, the visa where applicable, and a confirmed ticket, with supporting documents required from USD 1,000 upwards.
