What moves the AED/CAD rate
The AED leg
The dirham is pegged to the US dollar at roughly 3.6725, so AED doesn't move independently — a GBP/AED or EUR/AED rate is effectively a bet on the dollar leg.
The CAD leg
The Canadian dollar moves with crude oil and, more than any other major, with the US economy — USD/CAD is often the cleanest expression of that relationship.

AED/CAD questions
What is the AED/CAD exchange rate today?+
The mid-market AED/CAD rate is 0.3758, meaning 1 AED buys 0.3758 CAD. This is the rate banks quote each other, before any margin is added — it is the number to compare any quote against.
Why is the rate I am offered lower than the AED/CAD mid-market rate?+
Part of the gap on AED/CAD is real: Canadian Dollar trades in thinner volume than the majors, so the genuine spread is wider and local rules can add steps. The rest is margin the provider adds to the mid-market rate in place of a visible fee. Comparing the rate you are quoted against the mid-market figure above separates the two.
How long does a payment in CAD take to arrive?+
CAD settles by EFT, with larger values routed over Lynx the same business day; FINTRAC reporting applies to international transfers.
Can I fix a AED/CAD rate for a future payment?+
Yes. A forward contract fixes today's rate for settlement up to 24 months ahead, which removes the risk of the rate moving between agreeing a price and paying it. That is common on property purchases and scheduled supplier payments.
