Complete your identity verification

Verify your identity once to keep your account secure and meet Canadian KYC and AML requirements. You may be asked for a government ID, proof of address, occupation, or other details. Your verified profile also helps determine your transfer limit.

Choose your payment method

Pay for your Canada to UAE transfer using Debit Card, Interac e-Transfer, Bill Payment, EFT, Direct Withdrawal, or your RemitBee CAD Balance. Choose debit when speed matters most, or use bank-funded options when you want lower fees on planned CAD to AED transfers.

No5 377cf751e2.
Confirm your transfer

Review the transfer fee, CAD to AED exchange rate, recipient details, delivery currency, and final amount your recipient will receive. Confirm only when the UAE bank account details, IBAN, recipient name, and expected delivery time look correct.

Track your transfer

After you send, follow your transfer status in real time. Save your receipt and transaction reference number for your records. Your recipient can wait for the money to arrive in their UAE bank account while you monitor the transfer from your RemitBee account.

Cheapest way to send money to UAE

For eligible transfers over $500 CAD, RemitBee can be the cheapest way to send money from Canada to the UAE when you fund your transfer through Interac e-Transfer, EFT, Direct Withdrawal, or Bill Payment.
  • Pay a $0 transfer fee on eligible transfers over $500 CAD.
  • See the CAD-to-AED exchange rate before confirming.
  • Review the exact AED amount your recipient is expected to receive.
  • Compare the final recipient payout — not only the advertised transfer fee.
  • Use lower-cost bank-funded options instead of more expensive debit-card funding.

    With fee-free eligible transfers, upfront exchange details, and a visible recipient amount, RemitBee gives Canadian senders a strong, low-cost option for sending money to the UAE.

Available payment methods & speed

Here are the common ways to fund an international transfer from Canada. The speed labels describe how quickly a provider may receive your payment — not guaranteed delivery to your recipient. RemitBee supports debit card, Interac e-Transfer, Bill Payment, EFT, Direct Withdrawal, and a pre-funded CAD balance.

Instant to same day
Debit card

Debit cards are convenient when speed is important because the provider can usually process the payment immediately. They often cost more than bank-funded methods, so check the processing fee, exchange rate, and final recipient amount before confirming.

Minutes to 2 business days
Online banking & Interac

Interac e-Transfer, online banking, and bill payment let Canadian senders fund transfers directly from a bank account. Speed depends on the bank and provider, but these options often cost less than debit or credit card funding.

1-5 business days
Bank transfer, EFT & wire

Bank transfers, EFTs, direct withdrawals, and international wires suit planned or larger transfers. They are often lower-cost, but processing may take several business days, and intermediary or recipient-bank fees may apply.

Usually instant
Apple Pay, Google Pay & wallets

Some transfer platforms accept Apple Pay, Google Pay, or another digital wallet linked to an eligible card. They provide a quick checkout, but availability depends on the provider, the sending country, the device, the card issuer, and the transfer route.

Same day to several days
Cash & agent locations

Cash-funded transfers can be started at a physical agent location. Depending on the provider and destination, recipients may collect cash or receive funds through a bank account or supported digital wallet.

Frictionless transfers

Fastest way to send money to UAE from Canada

A debit card is generally the fastest way to fund a transfer, while Interac e-Transfer is often credited within minutes, depending on the bank and provider.

For repeat transfers, a pre-funded CAD balance can reduce delays by avoiding the need for a new bank payment each time. Total delivery time still depends on verification, the payout method, recipient details, and the receiving bank.

Digital transfer providers can then complete the transfer based on the delivery method selected:

  • RemitBee offers instant debit-card funding and Interac e-Transfer funding in about 30 minutes.
  • Western Union supports bank deposits, mobile wallet, and cash pickup.
  • MoneyGram supports card, bank, cash, and digital payout options.
  • Wise delivery times vary by payment method and transfer route.

Built for Canada to UAE transfers

Many people send money to the UAE for family support, rent, tuition, relocation, travel costs, business invoices, gifts, savings, or property-related payments. RemitBee keeps the process online, so you can send from your phone or computer without calling your bank or waiting in line for a wire transfer.

Competitive CAD to AED rates

The exchange rate can change how many UAE dirhams your recipient receives. A small CAD to AED difference matters more on larger transfers. RemitBee shows the exchange rate and final payout before you confirm, helping you compare the real transfer cost instead of looking only at the fee.
