Is US Dollars accepted in Canada

[Hazel2010]

Hello Everybody!

Hope everyone is doing fine by God's Grace.
I wish to know :
1. If USD is freely accepted as cash everywhere in Canada or is it required to convert to CAD?
2. What is the best way to convert USD to CAD and where in USA?
3. Will it fall cheaper to convert INR to CAD?

2. Not sure

3. Probably not
