Hello all.
Last fall I did an interview for CBC radio, for wh. they've been
trying to send me an honorarium. Problem is, they insist on sending me
payment in $CAN, and drawn on the Canadian central bank. American
banks however charge an arm and a leg to convert foreign currency to
$US. I see only two ways out of this:
1) I endorse the Canadian check, sign it over to a helpful Canadian,
and physically mail it across the border in return for a credit card
or PayPal exchange denominated in $US, or
2) The same, except that the helpful Canadian sends me a physical
check made out in $US and *drawn on a US bank.*
Any helpful Canadian want to volunteer?
On the US side, maybe some helpful American knows the answer to
this: Can I take the Canadian check, buy a Traveler's Check ($US)
with it, then deposit that to my own bank account, thereby avoiding
the heavy exchange fee? Or won't that work?
Any other suggestions?
