Xe.com shows a mid-market rate of 12.9145 MXN per CAD, while BBVA México quotes 14.36 MXN—a gap that reflects the bank’s spread rather than a fundamental currency shift. The USD/MXN pair provides a useful proxy: BBVA’s USD sale rate stood at 17.62 MXN on 22 April 2026, down 0.90% from the previous session, suggesting peso weakness against major currencies.

Daily fluctuations
WeightMXN.com data shows daily CAD variation of approximately 1.48%, with rates swinging between 12.6783 and 12.7235 MXN in intraday trading. These fluctuations depend on Banco de México policy announcements, North American economic data releases, and oil price movements, since Canada is a major petroleum exporter.

What is the price of the Canadian dollar at BBVA today?
BBVA México currently quotes 1 CAD = 14.36 MXN on their official education page. However, this single rate doesn’t distinguish between buy and sell prices, which typically differ at bank branches. The rate appears as a reference figure for “safe savings” goals rather than a live trading quote.

Their December 2025 data showed BBVA’s USD/MXN sale at 17.12 against a market mid of 18.21, a 5.98% markup. Xe.com’s comparison tool for BBVA Mexico demonstrates these rates consistently lag market rates for international transfers.
What this means: BBVA’s published 14.36 rate is a reference price, not a guaranteed trading rate—actual branch quotes may differ.
BBVA’s CAD/MXN rate of 14.36 is not a live trading rate—it’s a reference figure. Actual branch rates may differ, and no buy/sell spread is publicly documented.
Is it better to buy pesos in Canada or in Mexico?
The choice depends on your priorities: convenience versus cost. If you exchange in Canada, you’ll pay a markup but arrive in Mexico with local currency ready to spend. If you exchange in Mexico, you may access better rates at specialty casas de cambio, though airport and hotel exchanges typically offer the worst terms. Neither bank route gives you the mid-market rate—you always pay the spread.
Upsides
- Canadian bank (RBC, TD) convenient before departure
- Know your pesos before arriving in Mexico
- BBVA app provides live rate monitoring
- No language barrier at home branches
Downsides
- Bank markups typically 5-11% above market
- Limited CAD/MXN options at Canadian banks
- BBVA México 14.36 rate vs 12.91 market mid
- Poor airport exchange rates if buying in Mexico
