Send money to Syria from Canada
Send CAD to Syria with the current CAD-to-SYP quote, payout currency, and recipient amount clear before you confirm, whether the money is going to Damascus, Aleppo, or Homs. Pay a $0 RemitBee transfer fee on $500+ via e-Transfer or EFT.
How to send money from Canada to Syria?
Sign up online or through the RemitBee app. Your account lets you add recipients, review past transfers, follow transaction updates, and manage future payments from one place.
Enter the recipient details requested for the receiving option shown. The information needed can differ between cash pickup, bank deposit, or another available method, so use the exact details requested in your transfer.
Verify your identity before sending. Your RemitBee verification level determines your personal sending limits and supports the checks required for international money transfers from Canada.
Fund your transfer using an available Canadian payment method such as Interac e-Transfer, EFT, bill payment, RemitBee Balance, or an eligible Visa Debit or Mastercard Debit card.
Syria now allows international remittances to be paid in Syrian pounds or foreign currency depending on the paying institution and available currency. Check the payout currency shown by RemitBee rather than assuming every transfer will be received in SYP or USD.
Check the exchange rate, fee, recipient amount, and available delivery details before confirming. Once sent, follow the transfer through your RemitBee account with real-time status updates.

That makes current exchange-rate accuracy especially important. Older converter pages, cached search results, and past transfer examples may still show amounts based on the previous denomination.
RemitBee shows the current transfer quote before you send, including the exchange rate and recipient amount. For e-Transfer, EFT, and bill payment, the RemitBee transfer fee is $2.99 below $500 CAD and $0 on transfers of $500 CAD or more. RemitBee also applies an FX margin of 0.3-0.5%.
Best way to send money to Syria
There is no single receiving method that fits every family. Cash pickup remains an important part of Syria’s remittance system, regulated banks continue to operate, and 2026 rule changes have given recipients more flexibility around the currency in which an international remittance may be paid.
Cash collection remains highly relevant in Syria and is supported by the wider remittance infrastructure operating in the country. If RemitBee offers cash pickup for your transfer, check the pickup location, recipient name, identification requirements, payout currency, and any reference information before sending.
Syria has functioning regulated banks including the Commercial Bank of Syria, Al Baraka Bank Syria, National Islamic Bank, Syria International Islamic Bank, Cham Bank, Bank Bemo Saudi Fransi, and others.
If bank deposit is available through RemitBee, choose only from the institutions shown in your transfer. A bank operating in Syria does not automatically mean it is supported by RemitBee.
Since June 2026, Syrian rules allow incoming international remittances to be paid in Syrian pounds or foreign currency based on the beneficiary’s preference and the currency available at the paying institution.
That does not mean every RemitBee transfer automatically offers a USD choice. Check the actual payout currency available for your recipient before confirming.
Pay from Canada using familiar options
Your payment method determines how quickly RemitBee receives the Canadian dollars needed to begin your transfer. Final delivery in Syria can take additional time depending on the receiving method, verification, transaction review, and local payout availability.
Use an eligible Visa Debit or Mastercard Debit card when you want to fund the transfer quickly. Card fees can be higher than bank-based options, so compare the full cost before sending.
Fund your RemitBee transaction from a Canadian bank account using Interac e-Transfer. It offers a familiar way to pay without arranging an international bank wire.
Add RemitBee as a payee through your Canadian online banking and send the funds as a bill payment. This can work well when you are able to plan the transfer ahead.
Connect your Canadian bank account and fund your transaction electronically. EFT takes longer than debit or e-Transfer but offers another bank-based payment option.
Ready when support cannot wait
Fastest way to transfer money to Syria from Canada
Keeping funds available in your RemitBee Balance can remove the wait for a new Canadian bank payment before the next transfer begins. Final delivery still depends on the receiving option available in Syria and any verification or transaction review required.

Why is RemitBee the best app to send money to Syria
Canada has a substantial Syrian community, with 98,250 people reporting Syrian ethnic or cultural origin in the 2021 Census. For families sending money back, the challenge today is not simply finding a transfer button. It is knowing that the service is available, the currency information is current, and the transfer can reach the intended recipient through the option shown.
Syria’s transfer environment changed repeatedly during 2026. The currency was redenominated, remittance payout rules changed, international financial links began reopening, and provider availability continued to shift. RemitBee shows the current transaction details at the point where you send.
Your recipient may prefer Syrian pounds or foreign currency, but the actual choice depends on the receiving institution and what RemitBee currently supports. That information belongs in the transfer itself, not in an assumption.
Use Interac e-Transfer, EFT, bill payment, RemitBee Balance, or an eligible debit card rather than trying to arrange the payment through an unfamiliar overseas process.
Transfers to Syria can involve additional identity, recipient, or transaction review. Real-time status updates help you see when your transfer is progressing or when additional action may be required.
RemitBee is registered with FINTRAC as a Canadian Money Services Business. Canada removed many broad Syria-related financial restrictions in February 2026, while targeted sanctions remain, so transactions continue to be subject to applicable screening and compliance requirements.
