Some of the answers aren't even answers! Don't these people know that they only make themselves look stupid? Oh well, at least theiy are all interesting in a very ignorant way!
Now for the right answer! Take the same amount of money you would take if you were going down the street for vacation. The Canadian money right now is below our dollar. Its expensive to them but not equal to our US dollar. So just go like you wuld go in the US and you'll be able to figure you'll have plenty. Be sure you change your money into Canadian when you cross the boarder, and change it back to US Dollars BEFORE you get back. Banks will chage you a service fee to change the money back because it is so much less valuable. So you'd end up with less money back into your pocket than if you changed it BEFORE you cross the boarder, important point ok? Have Fun!

If you're going to Canada from the US, don't bring money, use a VISA debit card or credit card. You will get a better exchange rate that way. I have used cash before and got shafted several times by the exchange rates.

How long are you going to be in Canada and what do you want to do? If you're going to be staying in one place, figure on about $150 per day for a good hotel and meals in nice restaurants. If you're on a budget, cut that in half. If you're into hostels, it would be half of that. If you want to see some of the sights and try some activities, you'll have to add admission fees, tour fees, equipment rentals etc. So there isn't really an easy answer to your question.

it depends on what you want to do. i assume you're travelling from the u.s. to canada.......if this assumption is right then just plan as if you were going to any part of the united states (the economic similarities are fairly close between the two). try lonelyplanet.com and you'll find use-full information about any particular area you might be traveling to. also read the forums on this site. you can also post your own questions that are answered by fellow travelers.

well it depends on were you are going , but keep in mind the cost of living is pretty high.
such as : a loaf of bread is $1.90 , at least . a can of pop is at the very least is a $1.00
although it usually is more . to buy a memento , you'll pay a lot more , but if you go to local stores that everyone uses then it won't be that bad . I've lived in the falls (niagara) and the stores fleece every out-of-town er they can find .

Exchange rate is almost even. Try to go to a bank to do this. that's where u get the best rate. I just got back a week ago and gas is between 3.75 & 4.75 a gal. most stuff is just a little bit more expensive than the US. hope this helped BB
