Us Canadian Currency Exchange Rate

Prepare an inventory

First, although it sounds daunting, you should prepare and bring a complete inventory of your household goods accompanying you to Canada and be ready to present it at the border.

If you have single items worth more than $10,000 each, you may be required to pay Goods and Services Tax (GST) and/or provincial sales tax (PST - in Canadian provinces with a sales tax) on each of these items. There are specific limits and restrictions for alcohol, tobacco and firearms - you should avoid bringing these items with you across the border.

Banking and currency conversion

Unless you absolutely have to, don’t change US dollars to Canadian dollars before you get back to Canada: exchange rates for Canadian dollars are better in Canada.
