Then can't you find any bank or companies that do not charge any foreign transaction use? Such as Charles Schwab??

I have wells fargo and chase currently, so not sure who else i can reach to open a new account. I tried google for options to get a Prepaid Visa/ Travel card in CAD from US no luck so far...

Google Charles Schwab and open a new account. No foreign transaction charge on their debit cards.
