Hi all...another question as the big day approaches....

If someone wanted to send me regular small amounts of money from England to Canada (ie £50-£100 per week or fortnight), is there a cheap and easy way to do this?

One route thats mentioned a lot on here, although I've not used it myself is to use a Nationwide Building Society Account.
Your contact in the UK keeps the books and pays into the account.
You have the card and take the cash out here which I previous posters state is paid out at the Interbank (i.e. better than tourist rate) of exchange.

Paypal is quite an efficient system, although they do charge a small commission. there is also xe.com who specialise in this

Thanks for all those suggestions. I think I should have specified that I am talking about sending cash (without access to bank accounts/credit cards/debit cards or online methods).

I think my options are:

post cash, exchanged here or in canada-as far as I know this is a very bad idea

use something like western union

are there any other companies like western union?
