Convert Egyptian pounds (EGP) to Canadian dollars (CAD) at today's reference rate. Common amounts, 30-day tables, and a 12-month trend chart.
These figures use the same daily reference rate shown above, so they move when the rate moves. They are a quick way to size an amount of Egyptian pounds in Canadian dollars without typing it into the converter; for any other figure, use the EGP to CAD converter at the top of this page.

The inverse rate is simply 1 ÷ R, so the same reference rate answers the reverse question.

EGP/CAD pairs a major reserve currency (CAD) with a less heavily traded one (EGP). That usually means the rate is calculated as a cross from the major's quote against the US dollar and the minor's quote against the US dollar. Spreads on consumer products tend to be wider than for purely major pairs, especially outside the home market of the smaller currency.
Egyptian Pound is associated with Africa and Canadian Dollar with North America, so each currency typically reacts to a different set of releases. EGP/CAD therefore tends to move when something specific happens in either home market: an interest-rate decision, an inflation print, a trade-balance number, or a political event that changes the perceived risk of holding that currency.
The number shown in the rate box is a daily reference rate: roughly the mid-market price at the time the public rate feed was published. It is a useful benchmark, but it is not the rate you would obtain at a bank, a card terminal, an ATM, or a money-transfer provider. Those providers add a margin to the mid-market rate (the "spread") and may charge a fixed or percentage fee on top. To estimate what a real transaction would actually cost, take the displayed reference rate and apply the provider's published spread and fee.
The 7-day and 30-day tables show one observation per day. They are useful for sanity-checking an unusual reading on the live rate against very recent values and for spotting any obvious trend over the last month. The 12-month chart on this page is built from monthly samples and is intended to show the general direction of EGP/CAD over a year rather than every short-term swing. For an intraday view of the same pair, the embedded chart further up the page draws on a finer-grained data source.
Like any exchange rate, EGP/CAD reflects the relative attractiveness of holding Egyptian Pound versus Canadian Dollar. The most common drivers are:
Suppose the rate above is R. To convert an amount of Egyptian Pound, multiply by R: amount in CAD = amount in EGP × R. To go the other direction, divide instead: amount in EGP = amount in CAD ÷ R. The converter at the top of the page does this automatically and updates either input as you type. For an estimate of what a real bank or transfer service would deliver, subtract a typical retail spread (often a few tenths of a percent for major pairs and noticeably more for minor or exotic pairs) and any flat fee from the result.
If you arrived here looking for the inverse direction, the CAD to EGP page shows the same data presented the other way around. The guide on how exchange rates are quoted explains why the inverse rate is simply 1 ÷ R. To understand the gap between the figure on this page and what a bank actually offers, see the comparison of mid-market rates and consumer rates.

The reference rate in the box above gives the current figure for one Egyptian pound. Because the pound sits well below the Canadian dollar in value, small EGP amounts convert to fractions of a cent — the common-amounts table starts at 1 EGP and runs to 25,000,000 EGP so property, salary and transfer-sized sums can be read directly.
The Egyptian pound has been through several large devaluations in recent years as Egypt shifted between managed and more flexible exchange-rate arrangements. A currency in that position can move further in a single day than a major pair moves in a year, which is why the 30-day table and the 12-month chart on this page are worth checking before relying on a figure you saw earlier.
Yes, on the usual classification. Neither leg is quoted directly against the other in volume, so the rate is derived as a cross through the US dollar, and consumer spreads are wide. The major, minor, and exotic pairs guide explains what that means for the price you will actually be quoted.
Divide by the EGP/CAD rate, or read the second table above, which converts Canadian dollars into pounds. The CAD to EGP page shows the same pair with the Canadian dollar as the base currency.
