Canada and Nigeria have maintained diplomatic relations since 1962. In fact, as at 2021, Nigeria had the highest number of international students in Canada among African countries. In addition to Nigerian students paying Canadian tuition fees abroad, the two nations have engaged in bilateral trade amounting to over $2.2 billion, which stands as the highest trade volume between Canada and any other African country.

If you are in Nigeria looking to send money to Canada or receive money from Canada for any reason, then this article is for you. Like Oluwafemi, you can send and receive money at the best rates without any hassles. In his own words, “the experience has been nothing short of perfect, and I have since referred six friends.”

Please share a brief introduction stating your name and where you reside

How exactly do you use Africhange?

I use Africhange mainly to pay my bills here in Canada

Have you experienced any issues with Africhange

I have never had an issue using Africhange, except for when I sent some money to an email address that does not exist. I reached out to the support and it was rectified almost immediately.

Any previous experiences with other services?

In the past I used Lemonade and Pesapeer but as I researched for better rates, I discovered Africhange. At first, I was hesitant but I later gave it a trial and ever since I have not looked back.

How has your experience been with Africhange?

Perfect. I have referred so many of my friends in Canada. I’d say six of them and we all have good feedback about the service. I am only concerned about the N700 charge when funding my Africhange account from my Nigerian naira account.

We understand how you feel and empathize with you. These charges are from our Nigerian partner banks. Which is why with our Canadian partners, these activities have zero charges.

Any feedback for us?

I am yet to receive some of my referral bonuses.

Please send an email to us at support@africhange.com with a list of the people you referred and we will get back to you on this.
