❓ Frequently Asked Questions
❓ What affects Canadian dealer premiums?
Premiums above spot price vary based on product type, weight, payment method, and market conditions. Bank wire transfers typically earn 1–2% lower premiums than credit card purchases. Larger orders (10+ oz) may qualify for volume discounts from most Canadian dealers.
❓ Is shipping gold safe in Canada?
Major dealers ship via insured courier (Canada Post Xpresspost, Purolator) with full insurance coverage. All packages are discreetly labelled with no indication of contents. Free shipping thresholds typically range from C$200–C$500 depending on the dealer.
❓ What payment methods are accepted?
Canadian gold dealers accept bank wire transfers (lowest premiums), e-Transfer/Interac, credit cards (2–3% higher premiums), and in some cases PayPal or cryptocurrency. Bank wire is recommended for orders over C$5,000.
💡 Canadian Gold Investor Guide
Tax-Efficient Gold Investing: Maximize TFSA contributions first — all gold gains are 100% tax-free. Then use RRSP for tax-deductible contributions where gains are tax-deferred. Keep non-registered gold purchases for emergency reserves, as the capital gains inclusion rate is 50%.
When to Buy and Sell Gold: Consider buying when gold-to-stock ratios are low and selling when gold exceeds your target allocation. Profit-taking near historical highs and reallocating to undervalued assets can lock in gains. Avoid panic selling during short-term dips — gold rewards patient holders.
