Karachi, April 19, 2025: The value of the Canadian dollar (CAD) has experienced a minor rise against the Pakistani rupee (PKR), now trading at 202.72 PKR compared to the earlier rate of 202.20 PKR. This increase reflects changes in global currency markets as well as economic factors affecting both countries.
1 Canadian Dollar equals 202.72 Pakistani Rupees.
Valuation Process
Currency valuations are influenced by the dynamics of supply and demand within the foreign exchange market. The appreciation of the Canadian dollar can be attributed to various elements, including rising crude oil prices (since Canada is a key oil exporter), favorable economic data from Canada, or a slight decline in the value of the Pakistani rupee due to domestic inflation or trade deficits. Additionally, the strength of the PKR is significantly affected by Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves, remittance flows, and trade balance.
Impact on Overseas Pakistanis
For Pakistani immigrants in Canada who send remittances back home, this uptick means slightly better returns for their funds. A stronger CAD results in more rupees per dollar, which benefits families dependent on foreign financial support. Conversely, for students or travelers from Pakistan going to Canada, the costs associated with education and living may rise slightly, as they will need more PKR to acquire Canadian dollars.
About the Currencies
Canadian Dollar (CAD): The official currency of Canada, printed by the Bank of Canada. It is among the most traded currencies globally, significantly impacted by commodity prices, especially oil, due to Canada’s role as a major energy exporter.
Pakistani Rupee (PKR): The national currency of Pakistan, overseen by the State Bank of Pakistan. Its value is highly sensitive to political stability, economic strategies, and external debt challenges.
The slight increase in the CAD/PKR exchange rate emphasizes the interconnectedness of global economies, where fluctuations in one country’s currency can create ripple effects across different nations. Analysts will keep a close watch on these trends to evaluate their long-term impact on trade and remittance flows.
