Thank you mr Biomed.
I would like get one more clarification sir. In the last three months,CAD apprecited against Saudi Riyal considerably. (1CAD=2.7 to 2.91 Saudi Riyals) whereas USD to Saudi Riyal has been maintained constant (1USD=3.756 Saudi Riyals) .
I have to convert my savings to either CAD or USD from Saudi Riyals.

In this context,please suggest me sir what is the best option ,conversion to CAD or USD???

Thank you, with best regards,

If u r planning 4 a small visit 2 canada USD

If permanent stay is envisaged then CAD .

Taking USD s will be better as for 1 they r universally acceptable(even in Canada) and for 2 u may get a better rate for USD than CAD in KSA.

Better carry in USD 100/- TCs if not in Draft.
