Yep. Canadian ATM cards work in the USA. Just remember that with having a Canadian bank account and withdrawing American funds, not only are you hit with the fee from the ATM machine, but your also hit with the exchange rate. It can add up, so take as much as you'll need and try not to use it too much.

Sure you can. Its actually rather smart to. But as others have stated, take out a chunk at a time, as ATM's have fees attached to the service. Especially in the tourist district of Niagara Falls. You will be hard pressed to find a machine, that belongs to an actual Canadian bank, and not an independent ATM company. Their fees are higher. You can guarantee they will be at least $3.00 a pop, if not $5.00/per use. As many stores also use private company Debit machines at the counter, you can bet on extra fees being attached to each purchase via Interact as well. So, your best bet, is to remove a chunk of money per day, via ATM. Or, as Niagara Falls has a ridiculously low crime rate, exchange your money at a bank.

Yes, but unless you have a TD account card, be prepared for a service charge. TD has a deal with American banks, but many others do not (I have a TD account for that sole purpose, other banking is done through CIBC, which demands a service charge at American ATMs)

They should but it may depend on the type of ATM you visit and which bank it is associated with. ATMs are on networks such as Cirrus, Plus, and Interac, so as long as your card/bank back home is on the same network as the ATM you're trying to use it should work. Look on the back of your bank card to see what network you're on. There is usually a fee to use an ATM on the network that is not one of you home bank though, in addition to your regular banking fees. Not sure if this all applies to 3rd party (non-bank) ATMs though (white-ATMs).
