usd/cadPrior to receving the $, i journaled my EG shares from my cad accts to my uds accts, and subsequently received the funds in USD.
I kept some of the $ in USD for stock purchases, and used (norbert's gambit) - Horizons USD ETF to exchange the remaining funds into CAD.
My rate was .873 including the buy and sell trade cost of the ETF.
I had not done any of this before so it was a good learning experience.
Cheers
