Even though the entire world is rebounding from the global COVID-19 pandemic, those gains do not come fast for most. Whether you’re an individual with bills to pay or running a business struggling to stay afloat, we could all use a little extra income to get back on our feet. This applies as much to the medical industry as it does to retail or manufacturing business sectors.
If you live and work in Canada and need to get money fast, there are a few tried and true ways to get by. Here are some suggestions that may prove valuable when it comes to times when you need cash right away.

Sell Valuable Items
Almost everyone has something at home that holds value. Whether you collect things like
- Jewellery
- Rare Books
- Records
- Musical Instruments
- Sports Equipment
- Vintage Clothing
The list of potential items that you might own that hold value could go on and on. Rather than take someone else’s advice on what might be available in your home to sell, the best plan is to go around your home to assess what you have to try to decide whether you can live without it so that you can have more cash today.
Sell Your Dental Scrap
If you’re a dentist, you may be in possession of valuable items that you do not realize you can sell. Dental scrap is the material that is leftover after you perform restoration work on a patient. This material is valuable because it usually contains precious metals like gold, silver, platinum or palladium.
If you’ve collected a significant amount of your dental scrap, you can sell it to a Canadian company like Muzeum Dental Refining, where it will be processed into a valuable form.
Sell Your Gold Bullion
If you’ve been saving items made of gold for the sake of investing in a sure thing, now is the time to sell. You may be waiting on inflation or scarcity to bring the price of gold to a level that makes it even more valuable than it already is today, but if you need money now, you should forget about those prospects.
Consider that the money you gain today might be worth more to you now than a higher amount will be worth to you in the future when you’re not as pressured by financial needs. Whether you’ve been hoarding gold in the form of bullion or coins, now is the time to cash in.
While the quickest way to sell valuable items to gain cash in Canada is to visit a pawn shop, you’ll gain a greater value for your goods if you can find a buyer who understands what your items are worth and is willing to give you a fair value.
However, in the case of a dentist aiming to sell dental scrap, you’ll need to contact a company that offers specific services in separating and refining dental scrap to process it into a form that is suitable for resale.
