I use a Capitol One CC when in Canada. There are no international transaction fees, and the ATMs provide Canadian cash at the prevailing exchange rate. We used to travel with a lot of cash, but that is not ideal. I also set up alerts with Cap 1 to notify me for international transactions and for transactions over a specified amount - in my case, $200.
Last year, another CC I use only for fuel was hacked to the tune of $9000. I could not set up the same type of alerts with this CC, so I will discontinue use of it. To their credit, they wrote off the $9k.
I will be on Vancouver Island from mid-June to early August in Artum Snowbirds area near Campbell River.
