❓ 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
Portfolio Allocation: Most Canadian financial planners recommend allocating 5–15% of a diversified portfolio to gold and precious metals. This allocation provides downside protection during equity bear markets while maintaining growth potential during inflationary periods.
Physical vs Paper Gold: Physical bullion (bars, coins) provides tangible ownership with no counterparty risk, ideal for long-term holdings. ETFs (CGL.TO, MNT.TO) offer convenience for trading and rebalancing. A combination of both can optimize for both security and flexibility.
