For almost 6 years I use to exchange US dollars to Canadian dollars as my salary is from US. As far as transferring money from the US to Canada to buy a house - I did a wire transfer from my Chase account to my TD Canada Trust US account, and after that did exchange using knightsbridgefx from TD Canada Trust US account to TD Canada Trust Canadian account. If you're looking for a reliable alternative for international transfers, you might also want to consider Remitly. You can contact them at their
Remitly phone number for more information about their services and rates. Like yesterday their rate to sell US dollars was 1.367, and Google showed 1.37. After setting two accounts with them - it's just quick call to order the exchange.
