What is the CAD/ILS exchange rate?
The CAD/ILS rate tracks how many Israeli Shekel one Canadian Dollar buys. The Canadian dollar - nicknamed the 'Loonie' - is closely tied to oil prices, since Canada is one of the world's largest energy exporters. Bank of Canada policy and US economic trends also influence CAD.
CAD is issued by the Bank of Canada (BOC) (ranked 8th globally - meaning it's the 8th most bought and sold currency in the world). ILS is issued by the Bank of Israel (BOI) (ranked 25th). Full CAD profile | Full ILS profile

Frequently asked questions
Is now a good time to convert CAD to ILS?
The decision to convert depends on your personal circumstances rather than market timing. Check the rate panel above to see the current CAD/ILS rate, then compare it to historical rates you've observed over the past few weeks or months.
If you're traveling soon or have a set deadline, you might prioritize certainty over waiting for a potentially better rate. Consider whether rate movements matter more than the convenience and costs of converting now versus later.
What moves the CAD/ILS exchange rate?
The CAD/ILS rate reflects interest rate decisions from both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of Israel, energy prices (particularly important since Canada exports oil), and broader risk sentiment in global markets. When Canadian economic data strengthens or the Bank of Canada signals higher rates, the dollar typically gains.
Israeli economic reports, geopolitical factors affecting the Middle East, and capital flows between the two countries also influence this pair's movements. Check economic calendars for upcoming central bank announcements and data releases that could shift the rate.
Will Canadian Dollar get stronger or weaker against Israeli Shekel?
We don't forecast future exchange rate movements. Instead, focus on the factors shown in economic data: review the Bank of Canada's monetary policy outlook, Canadian employment and inflation reports, and the Bank of Israel's rate path.
Compare these to Israeli economic indicators and geopolitical developments. The rate panel above shows you today's exchange rate, and the chart displays historical price action so you can see how this pair has behaved over different time periods.
How can I avoid fees when converting CAD to ILS?
Shop around among banks, online money transfer services, and currency specialists, as fees and exchange rate markups vary significantly. Some providers charge flat fees while others take a percentage; some apply hidden markups rather than transparent fees.
Ask each provider for their all-in cost to convert a specific amount of CAD to ILS before you commit. If you're exchanging a large amount, certain providers may offer better rates or waived fees, so the math is worth doing upfront.
Should I exchange Israeli Shekel at home or abroad?
In Canada, you'll find CAD/ILS rates at major banks and money changers, but rates are often less competitive than what you'd find by researching online providers. Inside Israel, you'll have more options including bank branches, ATMs, and dedicated money changers, though rates can vary by location and provider.
Many travelers find that using ATMs in Israel (which deduct directly from a Canadian bank account) offers rates closer to the market rate shown in the panel above, though you'll pay an ATM fee. Compare the all-in cost of each option before your trip.
How far does Canadian Dollar go in Israel?
Israel's cost of living varies by city and neighborhood; Jerusalem and Tel Aviv have different price levels, and tourist areas typically charge more than local spots. Check the current CAD/ILS rate in the panel above and compare it to daily costs you find in recent travel guides or online forums from Canadian travelers.
Your purchasing power depends not just on the exchange rate but also on where you eat, sleep, and shop. A meal at a local restaurant, a night's accommodation, and a coffee will each have different price tags in shekels, so estimate your specific expenses and convert them using today's rate.
What is the cheapest way to send CAD to ILS?
Different methods suit different amounts and timelines: bank transfers are familiar but expensive, online remittance services often undercut banks on fees, and peer-to-peer platforms may offer competitive rates if you find someone exchanging in the opposite direction. ATM withdrawals in Israel avoid upfront conversion but charge withdrawal fees.
For large transfers, compare quotes from at least three providers by specifying exactly how much CAD you want to send and asking for the shekel amount you'll receive. Faster delivery usually costs more, so weigh speed against cost based on your travel dates.

How this rate is calculated
We prefer a direct rate from our primary data source when one is available. If a direct quote is unavailable, we compute a cross-rate through a major intermediary currency (usually USD or EUR). When a rate is derived rather than directly quoted, we label it on the page. Full methodology.
