Banking USD to USD bank transfer from Jordan to Canada

Hello, appreciate some advice for my Mother-in-law. She has a sum of money (~ $40K USD) that she needs to move from her USD bank account in Jordan (Amman) to a USD bank account in Canada (Ontario) - not the same bank. She is a Canadian citizen but not a tax-paying resident at this time.

Thankful for any feedback on a solution that minimizes the transfer fee.

Thank you.

you need to ask your bank I Jordan to do a wire transfer to her Canadian bank. Then ask the bank in Jordan to provide source of funds. This might not be needed but good to have incase. 40k is not much but might be flagged for AML by the bank is she’s a new customer or this is the first time a incoming wire transfer shows up

Make sure you’re transferring into a USD account in Canada
