Re: Exchange rates
Sell in October and gain from further property appreciation and a higher exchange rate.

Re: Exchange rates
I would presume much of the change is due to the falling price of oil sucking money out of Canada, and the Greek situation sucking money out of the Euro to 'safe' currencies like the pound. So it's hard to say which way the rate will go from here.

Re: Exchange rates
I have no interest in the CAD vs GBP although it it goes up high, just means we won't be visiting the UK next summer as we have though of doing.
But the CAD is just losing too much against the USD which is where my concern is, looking like we are gonna be locked in Canada for a while if it keeps falling or doesn't go back up to the high 80's/low 90's again.

Re: Exchange rates
We will sort it out soon...we're both relatively older and have public pensions back in the UK. My husband will be a business soon when we get round to it and so will differ slightly again. I guess when I start working I will be looking at that side of things... RRSP's etc.

Re: Exchange rates
Just looked up fares for dates in September, Air Canada is cheapest. Round trip YVR to Halifax 1,922....
It's very unlikely we will ever get to that part of Canada.
With a good exchange rate travel can be done pretty cheap south of the border, not so much in Canada, even driving costs a small fortune.

Re: Exchange rates
My exchanger of choice is offering just a shade over 1.93
XE says 1.94 plus fractions of a cent
