I know the Canadians have their own money, but if you're in Canada can you also use the US Dollar if you want at stores and establishments? Will they accept it?

Yes, they eagerly accept our money and weep for joy at being able to hold something of value for a change.

If you tried paying in cash then probabaly not. Generally you're supposed to exchange your currancy to whatever country you're going to.

But if you're using a card, preferably one with no foreign transaction fee, then it's a non issue.

It's been more than 25 years since I've been to Canada, but a lot of places took American money close to the border and most of Canada lives close to the border.

It's French, so it's really the IBF.

Only right at the border areas usually

If you try to pay with USD in Calgary they'll laugh at you

Border towns generally accept US cash but most small businesses are just going to take it 1:1 and not offer you the exchange rate.

Away from the border a lot of big franchises still have buttons on their registers for converting USD to CAD but good luck finding one where the employees know about it / management actually lets them use it.

This is what I'd expect to have happen.

Most do in the more popular tourist cities but they don't go by the exchange rate (some not even close) and makes customer "pay extra".
