What is the most economical way (time is a non-issue) to receive HKD's from Canada. I understand that wiring money often incurs a certain cost that is not necessarily a % of the sum (my father said it's $35 CND/transfer for CIBC). By small funds, I mean ~ $200-$500 every few months as I help friends buy shoes etc
i've looked at
-wiring
-western union/money gram
-paypal
the 2nd and 3rd option are not beneficial in my opinion cause it seems as though the exchange rates are skewed in the 3rd party's favor (PP especially).
thanks a lot!
