Money Plus for Canada

It is looking unlikely that a Canadian version of Money Plus (Deluxe or Premium) will be produced. In previous years, the Canadian product has come out at about the same time as the US product. Given that there was no Canadian Money 2007, and the lack of anything after a month of release of the US Money Plus, i would consider it now unlikely. Microsoft have released Money Plus Essentials in Canada (FAQ Article 536).

When putting the search term 'Canada' in Money Plus, an entry is returned, entitled: 'Change Money from U.S. to Canadian settings' - which perhaps means it is the desired version for Canadian users.

It also says: "It is possible that Money will display some United States content (such as information on U.S. taxes) when the Canadian dollar is set as the base currency. If this happens, try changing the Country/Region setting to United States, and then back to Canada again." - which implies that something in the product changes if you have Canadian Dollar set as the base currency (to change the base currency, see FAQ Article 337).

You may be limited to getting the product through download (stockists such as amazon.com may not sell it to you directly, and amazon.ca doesn't stock it), but see FAQ Article 535. There is additionally no harm in trying out the trial to see whether it converts your file.

I have had reports that converting a Canadian file with Money Plus (US) will work, although I would recommend trying the trial version first, so you can check whether it works on your personal file.
