You'll need less that 100.00 in Canadian cash, most places will give cash back on your CC
Do every thing on your CC, allow the CC company make the exchange rate conversion.
I have not tried this trick in a number of years so I don't know if it is still valid !
If you had a credit balance on one of your credit cards (i.e. they OWE YOU money) like Visa or discover, then you could go to an ATM and remove cash in that countries currency without occurring any cash advance charges ! There may be an ATM transaction card.
As stated before, the credit card companies use the latest exchanges rates.
