No, you'll get more for your Canadian dollars if you sell when the Canadian dollar buyback rate is low. This is due to a quirk of how British currency providers display their buyback exchange rates.
When you buy Canadian dollars, the exchange rate you get is the amount of Canadian dollars you'll receive for every pound that you spend, so for example a rate of 1.7894 means you'd get $1.7894 for each £1 that you spend. You can calculate the total amount of Canadian dollars you'd receive for a given amount of sterling by simply multiplying the sterling amount by the exchange rate.
When it comes to selling Canadian dollars, the buyback rate is expressed in terms of how many Canadian dollars you'd need to sell in order to get £1, so a buyback rate of 1.7894 means you'd need to sell $1.7894 to get £1. To calculate the sterling value of a given amount of Canadian dollars, you need to divide the Canadian dollar amount by the buyback rate. Since you're dividing by the buyback rate, a lower buyback rate means you'd get more sterling compared to a higher buyback rate.
One Canadian dollar ($) can be subdivided into 100 cents (¢). There are five denominations of Canadian dollar banknotes in circulation: $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100; and five coin denominations: 5¢ (nickel), 10¢ (dime), 25¢ (quarter), $1 and $2.
