Canadians change your U$D today
 

Well i got a good rate 1.24 today (not the bank rate) but u can probably get 1.2350 . :thumbsup

oh shit, time to cvhnage a couple k :P

you dont think its gonna keep going up?

Do you really think the CAD won't equal the USD in the next few years? The US is TRILLIONS in debt... and getting deeper every day. It'll be another trillion in debt in 2 years with current spending.. That doesn't sound too great to me.....

Rather, CAD will likely equal USD in the next few years, maybe 5-10 but it'll happen.

Do you think 1.24 is the highest it'll go / best conversion rate? Do you know what it's been over the past year?

Bish is just loading his pockets with Euros.

A few months ago I was depositing cheques at 1.17 and receiving western union's at 1.13...

1.24 is definitely worth converting over given the last year.

Not bad........ :thumbsup

YEP !! Exactly (not everybody understands this though) :disgust

exact ;)

yo where you get this rate?

I need moose cash for Montreal in May

hey juicy , don't goto the banks or i should say try avoiding .
Try places like tourist stores (most of the places have a board with the current rates outside posted) , custom exchange places . Depends how much u want to change though .

Cool like the places on St Catherine St in Montreal? I saw those 2 weeks ago

Take your US dollars to any bank in Canada and you will be given current exchange rate dude.

If you were to do it today you'd get $1.23 Cdn for every one of your US dollars :D


When I started in this biz that rate was at $1.46. It later went as high as $1.62, and on that day I transferred over $3k from my US account. Sa-weet. Them where the days.

Not if you don't have an account with that bank , also u DONOT get the current exchange rate , u do know the bank takes a cut of it right ? :Oh crap

I certainly hope not!!

Just a year ago it was nearly 1.40 :(

i can still remember 1.55

:(

todays rate is nice though considering the 1.18 that has been going on for the last while

That's the best rate in a long time. I got 1.22 last week and thought I was in heaven! Here's hoping it goes up a few points more ... :thumbsup

i know don't u remember when u can get 1500 off every 1K WOWeeee , now u are lucky to get 1200 :(

I always demand one rate higher than what they give you automatically. It adds up after not too long.

Are you joking.. We'll be having another election very soon and all the idiots pissed off about the sponsorship scandal will vote for our own religious fanatic racist conservative party... They'll do what conservatives do and drive us into debt and thus our CAD will go in the crapper again and the exchange rate will go up..

My bank rate shows 1.224 still very nice

As far as I know, and I'm speaking about all the banks I know of in my area, anyone can take US cash in and exchange it for Canadian. And yes, they take a small cut but so what? It's close enough to current exchange to be worth it.

Also, at least at my own banks, they take no cut of what I, an account holder, transfer. None. I get current exchange rate, period. Don't know about anyone else's bank.

You do know that the "buy" rate is always a bit different than the "sell" rate at banks, don't you? When exchanging US for Canadian you are always going to get a bit less per dollar, usually about 2 cents.

the buy rate is just better the currency exchange places. i know a couple weeks ago i got 1 percent higher rate at the exchange than i did at my bank an hour prior (and the dollar didnt fluctuate for shit that day).

Don't convert now.

The canadian dollar will drop when the government collapses.
Wait for the Torries and the Bloq to dissolve the house of commons before you convert.
