Money Transfer Canada to Qatar!

Hi everyone,

I am a student from canada on a visiting VISA and thus, I cannot open bank account in Qatar for wire transfer purposes.

I want to know what is the most efficient way (Fast and least expensive )to send a range of $100-$5000 from Canada to Qatar.

I have already studied the option of Western Union and I find it very expensive (with all its ridiculous fees and amount limitations).

Is there any other option?

Thank you.

im workin in a banking field hir in qatar. its a wrong information that u'l lose ur money in western union. if any problm in the transfer n u want to cancel it w/o ur mistake, it vl b returned w/o diductin a Riyal.

Be cautious about western Union. many people lost their hard earned money. Be careful.

Do you know any Canadians with a bank account in Doha? You could wire tansfer it to their account and they could give u the money.
