Exchange rate
I see it's touching $2.20 to the pound again:

So at least there might be one benefit of all these delays for visa processing .

We're due to complete on our house soon and it's great news for us exchange to the Canadian dollar
Hopefully we should have a nice emergency fund now. Watch this it'll drop back down to 2.06!

Better not...... we are only waiting for the postman (anyday now) then we can exchange our money over...2.20 is a very nice amount maybe getting a bit higher before we buy...

If the USD takes a large tumble, how will this affect the CAD?

we are currently at near a 2yr high gbp/usd rate but usd/cad is still quite low.
Before someone jumps on the above statement we have been down at 1.09 usd/cad and are now at c.1.1320 butr nothing like the 1.27-1.35 we need with a strong cable to get us back to the 2.50 gbp/cad rate we would all like

Re: Exchange rate
If your looking to buy CAD then try visiting Halo Financial [Alastair Sweetman]
Their rate will beat any bank of Hi FX.
You can secure the rate now which lasts for up to two years, youll be foolish not to do something now as the rate is set to fall back down.
We just secured our rate which gave us loads of extra money for our new house in Calgary.....moving on the 4th Dec.
You have been warned.............by the way Im not on any kind of commision just want others to have a good deal and not miss out.

Re: Exchange rate
for a decent exchange rate we need a steep increase in usd/cad rate which appears to relate to oil/commodities dropping off a cliff
In the short term, of course, who knows which way it will go?

I was under the impression in order to secure a rate with these companies you have to put up something like a 10% deposit, maybe i am wrong i haven't looked into it in detail myself yet.
