FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the gold spot price in Canadian Dollars today?
The gold spot price in CAD reflects the current international spot price (XAU/USD) converted using the live USD/CAD exchange rate. On GoldPriceCAD.com, prices are updated every 60 seconds during market hours (Sunday 6:00 PM to Friday 5:00 PM ET). The price is driven by trading on the COMEX exchange and global over-the-counter markets, then converted to Canadian Dollars for accuracy.
Is gold exempt from GST/HST in Canada?
Yes. Under the Excise Tax Act, investment-grade gold bars and coins with a purity of 99.5% or higher are exempt from GST and HST. This includes the Gold Maple Leaf coin, gold wafers, and refined bars from recognized refiners. However, collectible (numismatic) coins, gold jewelry, and items below 99.5% purity are subject to applicable federal and provincial sales taxes.
Can I hold physical gold in my RRSP or TFSA?
Yes. Certain gold bullion products are eligible for RRSP and TFSA accounts in Canada, as defined under the Income Tax Act. Eligible products include coins produced by the Royal Canadian Mint (such as the Gold Maple Leaf) and bars meeting minimum purity standards (99.5%). The gold must be held by a qualified trustee or custodian — you cannot store RRSP gold at home.
Which Canadian gold dealer offers the lowest prices?
SilverGoldBull (Calgary, AB) typically offers Canada's lowest premiums at C$55–C$75 above spot for 1oz gold bars, followed by Kitco (Montréal, QC) and Border Gold (Vancouver, BC). Premiums vary by product type, payment method, and order size. Bank wire payments usually result in 1–2% lower premiums compared to credit card purchases.
How does the Canadian Dollar affect gold prices?
Gold is priced internationally in USD, so the USD/CAD exchange rate directly impacts what Canadians pay. When the Canadian Dollar weakens (e.g., from C$1.30 to C$1.44 per USD), gold becomes more expensive in CAD even if the USD price is unchanged. This "currency effect" has historically amplified gold returns for Canadian investors during periods of economic uncertainty.
How often is the gold price updated on this site?
Gold prices on GoldPriceCAD.com are refreshed every 60 seconds during active trading, which runs nearly 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. Markets are closed from Friday 5:00 PM to Sunday 6:00 PM ET, and during select Canadian and US statutory holidays. All prices include real-time USD/CAD conversion.
