If you want a few bucks pocket money OK, otherwise, No. You pay a fee for the exchange - they do not sit there and change money for no profit you know. Use your credit / debit card and your card company will give you the correct exchange rate with no fees.
And - do not trust the retailers to give you a fair exchange either. They shave a few points off the going rate.

Change it locally in Canada at a bank or a currency exchange. Check both to see which is giving the better rate.

As someone who divides their time between Canada and the U.S., I would strongly advise you to use your ATM card at Canadian ABM's, or debit or credit card to make purchases with retailers and for services. You will get the very best rates that way. Only carry cash for the smaller expenditures.

If you do wait till you are in Canada. I went there last year for vacation. I exchange our money in the US before I went. Then when I got there they gave a better rate!!

Yes. Any bank in the world will exchange money for the local cash.

no because all of the Canadian retailers can exchange it for you right there....secondly, why pay the bank rate to change it over, when you can come to Canada and have it done free of charge?

There is really no reason to. If you have a ATM card then they can do the change over for you. It may be good to have some cash on hand but most places will carry a ATM there.

it is going to in all probability be a pair of pennies on the greenback. infrequently worth paying for around. US greenback is at present worth slightly extra yet with that small volume of forex it does not truly count extensive style. Worst case state of affairs you're out one extra greenback or 2.
