1 Check with the Canadian Bank what their charges are, for transferring 
in CAD and in GBP (the charges are probably different).
2 Check with your UK bank (if you have accounts with more than one, 
check all of them) what their charges are for receiving money in CAD and 
GBP.
3. Check what exchange rate each uses (just ask each, on the same day, 
what their rate for that day is to find out any difference).

Then check what combination is likely to be cheapest.

Avoid any date where there is particular uncertainty (for example, any 
of the various Brexit deadlines) as the exchange rate spreads will be 
higher.
