I may travel to Canada in the future, but these are the currencies I have:

  • Kuwaiti Dinar (1 KD = C$4.50)
  • Omani Rial (1 RO = C$3.60)

So, they are worth more in face value. The question is: will money changers in Canada accept or recognize them on directly converting to CAD despite these currencies being uncommon? Also will I really be allowed to bring either 5000 RO (C$18,100) or 2000 KD (C$9,025) in cash?

    A bank probably would, but I don’t know if they’d do it for just anyone.

    More importantly, if you’re crossing a border with large sums of cash, you must declare it at the border.

    CBSA is not in the business of stealing money, but they will confiscate it if you don’t declare it.
