Yes it's true that Canadians are not charged the US extra10% conversion rate but the Canadian dollar is weaker. I believe it was only .77/CUC. I would not bother getting Canadian dollars to exchange to CUCs if you are from the US. You will save a little if you get Euros ahead of time but it's not really worth it unless you are changing large amounts. Since almost every store and vendor took US$ we ended up changing very little and just paying in US$.

Thank you. We did convert some US to Canadian, but I won’t bother getting more. I appreciate your advice - and am looking forward to our trip!

I was under the impression that Cuba charges a 13% exchange rate to convert US dollars, but there is no transaction fee associated with converting Canadian dollars in Cuba. Is this true??
