You can get the best exchange rate by withdrawing the money (in Canadian funds) from an ATM in Canada. The money will come from your U.S. checking account at the best exchange rate (check with your back about applicable fees). Verify with your U.S. bank that your card is set-up for withdrawals on either the Cyrrus or Plus system. You'll need a four digit numerical pin number.
Have a great time!

From my experience, it is best if you belong to a credit union and then use your ATM card in the ATMs, which will convert it automatically. My credit union told me that because of international laws, they do not currently charge you any other withdrawal fee like they do in the US at ATMs of other banks. That's worked pretty well for me.

If you're talking about once you get to Canada...try the Royal Bank (of Canada). It's a good bank. I exchange money there often for trips.
Canada's a great destination :)

Youre better using a card than cash. Shops dont give you as good an exchange rate on cash as the cards do.

Just wait until you get there and visit a local bank. You will get about $1.20 CAN for each US dollar. I think you can only do about $100 dollars though. Or use your credit card and you will just pay in US dollars when you get your bill.
