Got this email too. That's unfortunate since I really like Coinbase's UI. Those who did not receive the email, here is the post

I just go this email from Coinbase.com. I don't even use them but I guess I was signed up for emails from when I was a newbie. Have a read if you're Canadian and use Coinbase.com.
Dear valued Coinbase customer,
As of August 1, Coinbase’s Canadian payments provider, Vogogo, will be shutting down its payment processing business. When this occurs, Coinbase will no longer be able to support Canadian EFT transfers, Interac transfers, or the storage of customer CAD on Coinbase.
All customer CAD stored with Coinbase MUST be withdrawn off site or converted to digital currency by July 29th.
If you hold CAD in your Coinbase account, you must liquidate your CAD holdings before July 29th by either:
creating a withdrawal to your linked bank account or
exchanging stored CAD for digital currency.
If you are unable to withdraw or exchange your CAD before July 29th, Coinbase will suspend your account and significant fees will be incurred for CAD withdrawals.
We are disappointed to lose the ability to offer these payment methods for our Canadian customers and hope to provide additional payment methods in the future. We appreciate your support during this change.
If you have any questions regarding this or would like to contact us, please visit our Support Center.

Received this email as well and signed up to this forum for some assistance.
The vets who have been around the block and tried a lot of the wallets, what are Canadian customers switching to for an online option?
I really liked the "hold as CDN fund" option from Coinbase and was hoping for something similar from another company.
Also, the ability to transfer using EFT is very useful.
Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated!
Kraken gives you access to Canadian, American and Euro markets.
edit: This thread should be moved to the "exchanges" section.

Coinbase first started to not support Germany and Luxemburg citizens and now they have plan to stop their services for Canadians. Something is happening in the backstage, probably they are having issues with the laws in these countries, and this is not good for the bitcoin.
