    Parcels are sent via Canada Post and include $100 insurance and signature required. Extra insurance is available at extra cost to you per Canada Post $2.20 per $100 optional.

    And in between that time it was at par, now that is what I call a strong Cdn peso. (Actually it was a weak US dollar, but lets not spoil it!)

    there is no spread, currency conversion rates are in fact inverse (plus fees and whatever rate you can actually get from your financial institution).
    The ratios above are just rounded.
    1/1.24= 0.8064 USD to buy 1 CAD
    1/.8064=1.2400 CAD to buy 1 USD

    It’s only 81 cents on our dollar right now....I’d say it’s better then it’s been in a while but it’s not a 1.24

    Do you trade currency? In reality, there is in fact a spread. I traded equities for 15 years. But we digress....
