12 October 2026 - Naira Briefing

The allowed ways to send

  • Bank outward transfer for documented purposes via Form A (tuition, upkeep).
  • Fintech apps (Lemfi, Grey) — naira to a Canadian account where supported.
  • An FX partner — for larger legitimate sums settled directly.

Rate and documentation

Compare the Canadian dollars delivered per naira against the live CAD to Naira rate, and keep proof of purpose — a study permit, an invoice, a tenancy. See sending money abroad for the wider rules and Canada to Nigeria for the inbound corridor.
