    About the Canadian dollar

    The Canadian dollar (CAD, also written C$) floats freely and typically trades around 1 USD = 1.35–1.42 CAD. It fluctuates with commodity prices and interest rate differentials, so check a live rate before a large exchange. Credit cards are accepted almost everywhere in Toronto — foreign transaction fees vary by card, so a no-fee travel card is worth checking before you go.

    How to pay in Toronto

    Cards (tap-to-pay is standard) are accepted in hotels, restaurants and shops across the city. Cash is rarely essential but useful for small vendors, tips and parking meters in a few older neighborhoods. ATMs are widely available — withdraw CAD directly rather than carrying USD or EUR.
