MoneyGram. You can send money from any Canada Post outlet or MoneyGram outlet. It's fast and the fee is cheaper than Western Union. However, I believe you must send it to a person, not a business. Google it to check it out.

I don't think so. But you could send it to a friend or family member and have them deposit it to your account. Bank wire transfers usually take from 3 to 5 business days. Does your bank in India have a branch or office in Canada? If they do, you may want to contact them.

Yes u can send it with citibank. U hv to open NRI account. Go and check with ur branch. Acc to me once u hv NRI a/c they send one ATM to ur home in ur home country . So whenever ur parents want they withdraw money from ATM .u will get better rate than money gram or western union.
