One currency will be converted into another by bank/payment system. You don't need to worry.

hi thanx for the reply... so you mean to say it's ok and there will be no problem to use my card even if it's not in Canadian currency?

It's ok.

However, to be absolutely safe, you may also be willing to contact your bank and ask them if you CC supports international online transactions.

ah that would be a nice idea to ask my bank about it...had u ever experience the same situation as mine?

Many times while travelling abroad or ordering goods from foreign internet-shops.

The only thing which matters here is that your bank policies and card's type itself allows such transactions.
For example, some banks set certain limits for international CC transactions to protect their client from possible fraud.
