Convert to Canadian dollars this way the pile wont be so thick put it in your underwear. Not many people will see you in a birthday suit unless security decides to do a cavity search

arre chill maar mere yaar...why taking so much stress?? ur travelling to Canada, not planet Mars!! RELAX!
Get your money converted anywhere you like except the Airport...but like others said, go to some local forex dealer rather than big cos. And don't worry, there's hardly a chance that you will be given fake notes...I mean if these guys do such things...inko market mein baithne kaun dega? Public joote maar ke bhaga degi!! So unless you're trusting some random guy in a remote place sitting in some dark alley...you won't get fake currency!
And stop stressing about the exchange dealer...at most there will be a difference of 10-30 cents...and it's not like you need to get thousands and thousands of dollars...just 2-3k. So doesn't matter really. Imagine just few days ago...you were talkin of mega expensive flight tickets...in comparison to that...this is nothing! Typical case of penny wise pound foolish.
Just get your money converted anywhere...period!
I didn't know half of the information what you know now from this forum. I landed in Canada with a stack of $100 bills and no change...but does that mean I couldn't get a trolley and I lifted 3 bags on my back? Of course not!! The security guard helped me...gave me change for a $100!

Moral of the story is that stop stressing and chill...as long as you land in 1 piece...it's all good!

Well said Ameet, and yeah as Mead said you you can get it at any vendor from the airport. Why would you need too much of coins? Once you land, I understand you need coins say at max 5 to 6, first to take a trolley and second to make a few calls from the airport if required.

so even if you have 100$ bill, you buy a coffee for $2 and get the change as much as you want. It should really not be a concern. So enjoy your flight and welcome to Canada.

Cheers!

Why carry cash in the first place?! You local ATM card will spit CADs at any bank machine.

@ nssnick - one of my friend leaving there told me to carry some where around 500-700$ in travel card for axis bank...
private banks will give us good rate...

we also need some bills of small amounts for trolly at airport...

btw, which college and what course for you are going ?

Humber-IT Solutions, you? where are you from?

Sir, when I said Tom, Dick and harry, i think you took it to literally. I meant not to top notch people such as Thomas Cook, but then agents who are in business for long. I am not talking about taking it from a hawker. And you can always ask them for a receipt but of course that will then include taxes which will be paid out of your pocket.

Hmm...How about SBI,PNB banks? Any experience with them?
