Gold Rate Today in Canada — Live Gold Price per Gram
Canada is a gold heavyweight — home to some of the world’s largest miners and the Royal Canadian Mint, whose 99.99% pure Gold Maple Leaf is a global benchmark coin. Retail prices are quoted per gram and per troy ounce in Canadian Dollars (C$), converted from the USD-denominated international spot at the current exchange rate.
Like its neighbour to the south, Canadian jewellery leans on 14k and 10k for everyday wear, with 18k for finer pieces and 24k reserved for bullion. The table below shows the live spot price in CAD per gram and per karat so you can check a jeweller or a scrap buyer.
Investment-grade gold (coins and bars of at least 99.5% purity) is exempt from GST/HST in Canada, while jewellery is taxed, so bullion and ornaments at the same weight can carry very different final prices.
