Four steps.
Compare providers
Look at what arrives in LKR, including the exchange-rate markup, not just the fee.
Add your recipient
Enter their details exactly as they appear on their account or ID.
Pay
Interac e-Transfer, debit or bank transfer are common. Card payments can cost more.
Track it
Share the reference number with your family, and keep your receipt.
Get more to your family.
Use licensed channels
Informal channels (undiyal) are unregulated and risky. Use registered providers so your money is protected.
Check the branch details
Wrong branch details are a common cause of delays.
Compare what arrives in rupees
Rates move often; compare the amount received, not the fee.

Common questions.
How long does a transfer to Sri Lanka take?
Often the same or next business day for bank deposits with online providers; bank wires can take longer.
Can my family collect cash?
Many providers offer cash pickup at bank branches. The recipient needs valid ID and the transfer reference.
How do I know a provider is safe?
Use a provider registered with FINTRAC, Canada’s financial intelligence agency, and check reviews. Never send money to someone you’ve only met online.
Is there a limit on how much I can send?
Providers set their own limits and will ask for more verification for larger amounts. Transfers of CAD 10,000 or more are reported to FINTRAC as required by law; that’s routine.
