The India–Canada corridor has grown dramatically with Canada's large Indian student and immigration intake. Indian parents send education fees, living allowances, and family support to children studying in Canada; Indian professionals on Canadian work permits also repatriate earnings. INR is converted to CAD (via USD) under RBI's LRS, which limits outward remittances to USD 250,000 per resident per year. Form A2 LRS documentation is mandatory. Payments route from Indian banks via SWIFT and a US or Canadian correspondent to Lynx. FINTRAC applies Canadian AML controls. TCS applies on LRS remittances above INR 700,000. Most GPI-enabled payments credit within 1–2 business days. Track your UETR on Ohmyfin.
Settlement path: RBI RTGS → Lynx (Bank of Canada) via correspondent. Currency pair: INR → CAD.
The three most common causes of delay on this corridor are: (1) RBI LRS documentation requirement and FEMA outward remittance approval, (2) INR-to-CAD conversion via USD intermediate step at the correspondent, and (3) FINTRAC AML screening at the Canadian correspondent.
If the payment has not arrived within 4 business days, ask your sending bank to file an MT199 payment enquiry citing the UETR and the holding bank's BIC shown on the Ohmyfin GPI tracker.
