Converting Canadian Dollars (CAD) to Hong Kong Dollars (HKD) is frequently needed by the large community of Canadians living in Hong Kong, as well as tourists and business travelers. While both are “dollars,” the exchange rate is quite different. Generally, 1 CAD buys approximately 5.55 HKD. This means your money multiplies numerically when you arrive, but given Hong Kong’s high cost of living, keeping track of the conversion is vital for staying on budget.

Because the Hong Kong Dollar is pegged to the US Dollar ($7.75 – $7.85 HKD = $1 USD$), any movement in the CAD to USD exchange rate will be reflected here. If the Canadian Dollar gets stronger against the US Dollar, it will also buy more HKD.
100 CAD is roughly 573 HKD. In Hong Kong, this is enough for a mid-range dinner for two, a few days of riding the Star Ferry and MTR, or a couple of boxes of famous local pastries.
Hong Kong is famous for its competitive currency exchange houses (like those in Chungking Mansions). You will often find better rates in city-center Hong Kong than at major Canadian banks. However, using a digital multi-currency card is often the most cost-effective method.
