How to send money from Canada to the United Arab Emirates?
Create your account instantly by signing up for a complimentary RemitBee account, without visiting any bank branch — getting access to a secure RemitBee CAD balance and your personal account.
Choose the United Arab Emirates as the destination, enter the amount in Canadian dollars, and select the receiving method available for your transfer. For a UAE bank deposit, add your recipient’s full legal name, bank name, account number, IBAN, and SWIFT or BIC details where required.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Available payment methods & speed
Here’s how fast each payment option can fund your Canada to UAE transfer, from quickest to slowest.
Use your debit card to fund an urgent money transfer to the UAE right away. This is the fastest funding method, but it usually costs more than Interac e-Transfer, EFT, or Bill Payment.
Send RemitBee an Interac e-Transfer from your Canadian bank. Once received, the funds are credited to your RemitBee account and used toward your UAE money transfer.
Pay RemitBee through the bill payment section of your Canadian online banking. This is a practical option for planned transfers, especially when you are sending more than $500 CAD.
Use EFT or Direct Withdrawal to move funds from your Canadian bank account to RemitBee. This works well for repeat senders who want a lower-cost funding method for CAD to AED transfers.

Why RemitBee is your #1 app for sending money to UAE
Sending money from Canada to the UAE should be simple, secure, and clear before you confirm. RemitBee gives Canadian senders multiple payment methods, competitive CAD to AED exchange details, direct UAE bank destinations, and real-time transfer tracking in one account.
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.
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.
When you send over $500 CAD and pay by Interac e-Transfer, EFT, Direct Withdrawal, or Bill Payment, your transfer can be fee-free. This is useful for larger planned transfers, recurring family support, UAE rent payments, tuition support, or other regular expenses.
RemitBee shows the transfer fee, exchange rate, delivery currency, and final recipient amount before you send. This keeps the process transparent. Your recipient knows what to expect, and you can check the AED amount before confirming the transfer.
RemitBee uses identity verification, secure account access, fraud monitoring, and real-time status updates to help protect your transfer. You can save the receipt, track the transfer, and keep a transaction reference number for your records.
