HI @royerlraph79!

 

Welcome to the PayPal Community Forums!

 

Great question! After you initiate an electronic funds transfer from a Canadian bank account, the funds will become available in your PayPal account within 7-8 business days.

 

There's a lot more info on using your bank with PayPal in this article. 🙂

 

I hope this helps! 😄

It takes between 7-8 business days, which IN MY OPINION is wayy too long! Why can't the money transfer show up right away? When I buy stuff, the money is gone and my bank account shows it in real time! 7-8 days is a timeline that belongs in the past with dial-up and Windows 98 if you ask me.
