3. European Central Bank

   which normally takes place at 2.15 p.m. (14:15) ECB time. Source in EUR.

4. Google Finance
   Updated daily from Citibank N.A., source in EUR. Information may be delayed.
   This is parsed from an HTML page, so it may break in the future.

5. Bank of Canada
   Updated daily at 12:30 am, source in CAD, nominal rate. Source type is CSV based.

You can set time cycle for getting updates, 'first execute date' define when to start
the import and you can add a comment that describe why you use that particular service.

The module uses internal ir_cron feature from OpenERP, so the job is launched once
the server starts if the 'first execute date' is before the current day.

If in multi-company mode, the base currency will be the first company's currency
found in database.
