Trust Overview

The CurrencyShares® Canadian Dollar Trust (the "Trust") is a grantor trust that was formed on June 8, 2006. The Trust issues shares (the "Shares") in blocks of 50,000 (a "Basket") in exchange for deposits of Canadian Dollars and distributes Canadian Dollars in connection with the redemption of Baskets. The Shares commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the ticker symbol "FXC" on June 26, 2006. The primary listing of the Shares was transferred to NYSE Arca on October 30, 2007.

The Trust is a passive investment vehicle. The Trust does not have any officers, directors or employees. The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the price of the Canadian Dollar plus accrued interest, if any, less the expenses of the Trust's operations. The Trust does not engage in any activities designed to obtain profit from, or ameliorate losses caused by, changes in the price of the Canadian Dollar.

Definition of Net Asset Value

The Trustee calculates, and the Sponsor publishes, the Trust's Net Asset Value ("NAV") each business day. To calculate the NAV, the Trustee adds to the amount of Canadian Dollars in the Trust at the end of the preceding day accrued but unpaid interest, if any, Canadian Dollars receivable under pending purchase orders and the value of other Trust assets, and subtracts the accrued but unpaid Sponsor's fee, Canadian Dollars payable under pending redemption orders and other Trust expenses and liabilities, if any. Prior to November 13, 2008, the NAV was expressed in U.S. Dollars ("USD") based on the "Noon Buying Rate," which is the Canadian Dollar/USD exchange rate as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at 12:00 PM (New York time). As of November 13, 2008, the NAV is expressed in USD based on the Canadian Dollar/USD exchange rate as determined by The World Markets Company PLC, a State Street business, at 4:00 PM (London fixing) (the "Closing Spot Rate") on each day that NYSE Arca is open for regular trading. If, on a particular evaluation day, the Closing Spot Rate has not been determined and announced by 6:00 PM (London time), then the most recent Closing Spot Rate is used to determine the NAV of the Trust unless the Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, determines that such price is inappropriate to use as the basis for the valuation.

The Trustee also determines the NAV per Share, which equals the NAV of the Trust, divided by the number of outstanding Shares. The NAV of the Trust and the NAV per Share are published by the Sponsor on each day that NYSE Arca is open for regular trading and are posted on the Trust's website, www.currencyshares.com.

Movements in the Price of the Canadian Dollar

The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the price of the Canadian Dollar plus accrued interest, less the expenses of the Trust's operations. The Shares are intended to provide institutional and retail investors with a simple, cost-effective means of gaining investment benefits similar to those of holding Canadian Dollars. Each outstanding Share represents a proportional interest in the Canadian Dollars held by the Trust. The following chart provides recent trends on the price of the Canadian Dollar. The chart illustrates movements in the price of the Canadian Dollar in USD and is based on the Noon Buying Rate (prior to November 13, 2008) and the Closing Spot Rate (as of an after November 13, 2008).

Liquidity

The Sponsor is not aware of any trends, demands, conditions or events that are reasonably likely to result in material changes to the Trust's liquidity needs. The Trust's Depository, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch, maintains two deposit accounts for the Trust, a primary deposit account is expected to earn interest and a secondary deposit account which does not earn interest. Interest on the primary deposit account, if any, accrues daily and is paid monthly. The interest rate in effect as of April 30, 2012 was an annual nominal rate of 0.53%. The following chart provides the daily rate paid by the Depository since the Shares began trading:

In exchange for a fee, the Sponsor bears most of the expense incurred by the Trust. As a result, the only ordinary expense of the Trust during the periods covered by this report was the Sponsor's fee. Each month the Depository deposits into the secondary deposit account accrued but unpaid interest, if any, and the Trustee, withdraws Canadian Dollars from the secondary deposit account to pay the accrued Sponsor's fee for the previous month plus other Trust expenses, if any. When the interest deposited, if any, exceeds the sum of the Sponsor's fee for the prior month plus other Trust expenses, if any, the Trustee converts the excess into USD at a prevailing market rate and distributes the USD as promptly as practicable to Shareholders on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the number of Shares that they own). Distributions paid during the current reporting period follow (annualized yield reflects the estimated annual yield an investor would receive if a monthly distribution stayed the same for the entire year going forward, and is calculated by annualizing the monthly distribution and dividing by the Trust NAV for the dates listed below):

Results of Operations

As of October 31, 2011, the number of Canadian Dollars owned by the Trust was 631,422,374, resulting in a redeemable capital share value of $635,831,194. During the six months ended April 30, 2012, an additional 50,000 Shares were created in exchange for 4,971,830 Canadian Dollars and 650,000 Shares were redeemed in exchange for 64,633,786 Canadian Dollars. As of April 30, 2012, the number of Canadian Dollars owned by the Trust was 571,760,418, resulting in a redeemable capital Share value of $578,779,114.

A decline in the Trust's redeemable capital Share value from $635,831,194 at October 31, 2011 to $578,779,114 at April 30, 2012 was primarily the result of a decrease in the Shares outstanding from 6,350,000 at October 31, 2011 to 5,750,000 at April 30, 2012. The decline in the Trust's redeemable capital Share value was partially offset by an increase in the Closing Spot Rate from 1.0068 at October 31, 2011 to 1.0122 at April 30, 2012.

Interest income decreased from $833,781 for the three months ended April 30, 2011 to $715,504 for the three months ended April 30, 2012, and decreased from $1,595,514 for the six months ended April 30, 2011 to $1,536,876 for the six months ended April 30, 2012, attributable primarily to a decrease in the weighted-average Canadian Dollars in the Trust.

The Sponsor's fee accrues daily at an annual nominal rate of 0.40% of the Canadian Dollars in the Trust. Due primarily to a decrease in the weighted-average Canadian Dollars in the Trust, the Sponsor's fee decreased from $644,850 for the three months ended April 30, 2011 to $570,566 for the three months ended April 30, 2012, and decreased from $1,248,906 for the six months ended April 30, 2011 to $1,163,270 for the six months ended April 30, 2012. The only expense of the Trust during the three months and six months ended April 30, 2012 was the Sponsor's fee.

The Trust's net income for the three months ended April 30, 2012 was $144,938 due to interest income of $715,504 exceeding the Sponsor's fee of $570,566. The Trust's net income for the six months ended April 30, 2012 was $373,606 due to interest income of $1,536,876 exceeding the Sponsor's fee of $1,163,270.

Cash dividends per Share remained unchanged at $0.03 for the three months ended April 30, 2011 and the three months ended April 30, 2012. Cash dividends per Share increased from $0.05 for the six months ended April 30, 2011 to $0.07 per Share for six months ended April 30, 2012. This increase in cash dividends per Share was primarily the result of a slight increase in the annual nominal interest rate paid by the Depository, as set forth in the chart above.
