Hi Fellas

Could you help me with this question

I plan to take a 50 thousand us dollars with me , the next day i will put in bank , so my question is :

Which is the best way to deposit us dollars in canada without losing money in the exchange ?

- is opening a US dollar bank account is a better idea than depositing the money in Canadian account and getting the bank exchange fee ( which is usually low ) at least to my knowledge

- do you recommend i do the exchange at an exchange office outside the bank and then deposit it ??

- I checked for canadian and US forex(exchange sites ) and unfortunately they dont do transfers from my country in the middle east ?


thanks guys
