Are the landing funds required to be in CAD dollars?

[ad2310]

Or can I take it partially US dollars considering I exceed the required limit with the exchange rate? The reason I ask is that I will be leaving Canada after landing in a month or so, and would rather not pay exchange fees from US$ to CAD$ and then back again. Thanks for your input.

USD will be fine.

I had both, she totals both and put the sum on the landing papers.

Important that funds can be "readily" converted to CAD. So it can be Cash, Bank Draft or other forms of "liquid" funds.  For Bank Draft, just double check that there is an "agent bank" in Canada; faster clearing and lower

Worth going through the inconvenience just to make sure your landing goes smoothly.

Cash USD will be acceptable
