Going to Montreal tonight through Monday. Do I just use an ATM when I'm there or get some real money here and get the bank to swap it?

Your local Bank. Exchange rate isn't bad.

Pull up to a French-speaking prostitute and scream "I'm making a withdrawal!" and steal her purse.

Your local banks big branch before you leave. I usually get better rates there. You could always use the airport for a higher fee, or an ATM there. I was incanada a few weeks ago, I think it's around 1-1:45.

I almost always use an ATM at the airport when traveling overseas.

When I have internationally traveled, I have used the ATM machine for local currency. I will usually use an ATM at a large bank, sometimes at the hotel. I normal only use the currency exchange at the airport on my way back but that is very seldom as I usually have little local currency left.

Do you have a Bank of America account? If yes, then just go to a scotiabank atm and there won't be any ATM fees, but you will get charged a foreign currency fee.

ATM for currency. Get a credit card with no foreign transfer fees like the chase sapphire.

That's what I'd do. And call your local bank and let them know you are travelling before you go.

99% of international airports have a currency exchange booth or office. Might have to pay a fee of like 5% though.

When I used to go to Canada for work I would bring cash to Wells Fargo and they would exchange for me

Thread hijack.

I went to Montreal and Quebec City last year. When you're in Montreal, go to the Liverpool House and get the lobster spaghetti. If you want some good breakfast, go to L'Avenue du Plateau. You're welcome.

Use your credit card. The fee on your credit card is less than you will pay anywhere else.

You can use American money, but the exchange rate won't apply to cash purchases, you'll get raped.
