| Best way to exchange from CAD to RMB and HKD
I'm wondering what's the best way to exchange 20k CAD to RMB and HKD, is there a difference on different methods for each currency?
My friend told me that wiring money from your bank account to one of your families account in China would get me the best exchange rate(RMB) or exchange it here at VBCE or exchange it somewhere in HK or China or <insert another method here>
What you guys think? 20k CAD isn't that much but I want to get the best exchange rate possible. Thanks.

if u are travelling to hk, just exhacnge it there. The banks give a much better rate in hk.
I am in hk right now and i got 1cdn=7.63hkd at the bank. If u dont have a hk bank account but have an hkid card, u can get your money exchanged at Liu Chong Hing Bank.

Last time I checked (about 9 months ago), I could've sworn you got a way better rate by changing CAD -> USD -> HKD/RMB? (compared to CAD -> HKD/RMB on the same day)

(compared to CAD -> HKD/RMB on the same day) | for any foreign currency exchange. it has to be converted into american before being converted into another currency.
by doing canada to US to RMB, you do your own leg work and save a bit.
even from RMB to HKD, it goes from RMB to USD to HKD.
