🇨🇦 CAD to 🇯🇵 JPY

Understanding the CAD/JPY Exchange Rate

The Canadian Dollar to Japanese Yen exchange rate currently stands at 1 CAD = 115 JPY, based on mid-market rates sourced from Frankfurter API (ECB & central bank mid-market rates) as of July 2026. The mid-market rate represents the midpoint between the buy and sell prices on global currency markets — it's the fairest rate available and the one used by financial professionals. When you actually exchange money through a bank or currency service, expect the rate to include a markup of 0.3% to 5% depending on the provider.

Practical Implications for International Payments

Since 1 CAD converts to 115 JPY, even small fluctuations in the exchange rate can significantly affect large transfers. A 1% rate change on a C$10,000 transfer means a difference of approximately ¥11,511 JPY. For recurring international payments, services like Wise (formerly TransferWise) and Revolut typically offer rates within 0.3–0.7% of the mid-market rate, while traditional banks may charge 1.5–4% markups.
