I'm planning a trip to Canada and I'm wondering if it's necessary to exchange my US dollars for Canadian currency. Can I use US dollars in Canada or should I convert them to Canadian dollars before my trip?

Despite this, there are certain retailers located across Canada that will accept the US dollar as a valid form of payment for goods.

For the best experience and to avoid any potential issues, we strongly recommend using the local currency, the Canadian dollar, to pay for goods and services.
