Answer 6

If you need the money in day or two your options are western union, bank wire transfer, maybe money gram or express mail a certified check (the bank in Canada will probably hold that for 20 days if they cash it at all).

Answer 7

What I see is that Western Union cost you $ 60.20 for if you send $1000 and $ 108.50 for sending $ 2000. You haven't considered the taxes ( IGV & ITF ).

If she goes to Scotiabank (she doesn't have to be a costumer) for sending $ 1000 they'll charge her S/. 55 (aprox. $ 20) and for sending 1001-3000 they'll charge her S/. 73 (aprox. $ 26.55). You will have to pay in your bank in Canada whatever they charge you for recieving the transfer, but I bet is minimum.

Forget Western Union!
