I guess No, not true if you're taking less than CAD $10,000 with you.

There is no tax on any currency amounts, you just have to report it to CBSA on entry if you have over $10K.

buddy.. the rate i saw on net is 51.20 .. so you got good deal . SINCE THE RATE SHOWN ON NET IS AVERAGE RATE WHEREAS WE GET DOLLARS ON THE SELLING Rate of the bank or intermediary.

in your case , the profit/ margin of the intermediary was 0.45 (51.65 -51.20) per dollar which seems to be reasonable.

but if we see overall, the rupee has depreciated in a huge manner.. it is all time low which is hurting importers and students like us.. the dollar was around 45 , 48 some time back and now it is about 52... :eek:

You have to pay taxes to who,what for and why-You have already suffered the infaltion rate when exchanging the currency.

If there is a policy on that i would wish to know
