So instead I go to a cheque-cashing place and pay outrageous fees and get ripped on the exchange rate.

I had the same problem initially with RBC but if you speak with the branch manager then you should be able to get the hold lifted (a smart business person would make sure they are on a first name basis with their bank manager anyway
). As long as you dont seem shady about it and have not deposited bad checks in the past then there should be no problem with it.
