Gold has been quoted per troy ounce since the era of the London gold market, and the convention stuck: COMEX futures, the LBMA benchmark, and spot FX-style XAU/USD quotes are all per troy ounce. A troy ounce weighs 31.1034768 grams — about 10% heavier than the common (avoirdupois) ounce of 28.35 grams used for everyday goods. When you see a headline gold price, it is almost always USD per troy ounce.
The XAU/CAD rate on this page is the international USD ounce price converted at the live USD/CAD exchange rate. That means the CAD ounce price can move even when gold itself is flat, purely because the exchange rate moved.
Canadian dealers quote in Canadian dollars per ounce and per gram, converted from the international USD spot price at the live USD/CAD rate. The Royal Canadian Mint's 9999 Gold Maple Leaf is the country's flagship bullion product.
The live gold price per troy ounce in CAD is displayed at the top of this page. It is the international XAU/USD spot price converted at the current USD/CAD exchange rate and updates throughout the trading day.
One troy ounce equals exactly 31.1034768 grams. This is heavier than the standard avoirdupois ounce (28.3495 grams) — precious metals always use troy ounces.
Because the CAD ounce price has two inputs: the USD gold price and the USD/CAD exchange rate. If the Canadian Dollar weakens against the dollar, the local ounce price rises even with gold unchanged — and vice versa.
Most retail gold in Canada is sold by the gram, while the ounce is mainly a quoting convention for markets and bullion products such as 1 oz coins and bars. Use the per-gram page to see today's gram rates.
