Recent forecasts for the CAD to USD exchange rate indicate mixed expectations in the coming months and years. CIBC Capital Markets has revised their year-end forecast for 2024 to 1.31 USD/CAD from a previous forecast of 1.28, pointing to a stronger U.S. Dollar against the Canadian Dollar. Meanwhile, Scotiabank analysts observed that the Canadian dollar hasn't lived up to its projected strength in Q3 2023 but consider it undervalued given the core economic indicators. They speculate that the Bank of Canada may hike interest rates sooner than expected, which could propel the USD/CAD exchange rate to approach 1.30 by the end of 2023. Although residual weakness in the CAD is anticipated as the market adjusts to predicted rate cuts in 2024, FX analysts note Canada's resilient employment figures, signaling potential economic upticks. The market is also considering the possibility for further interest rate tightening by the BoC, especially in light of the CAD’s undervaluation.

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting Canadian dollar to US dollar:
Generally speaking, if you are buying US dollar with Canadian dollar, then it's better for the CAD/USD exchange rate to be higher.
However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).
The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.
Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.
It's worth noting that while these tips can help you save on exchange rates, it's important to be aware that no single method is guaranteed to provide the best exchange rate in every situation, and it may require some research and comparison-shopping to find the best option for your specific needs.
It is almost impossible to predict what an exchange rate will do in the future, the best approach is to monitor the currency markets and transact when an exchange rate moves in your favour.
To help with this you can add CAD/USD to your personalised BER Smart Rate Tracker to track and benefit from currency movements.
Rather than requiring you to set a target rate, our FX Alerts work differently. Once you add a currency pair for tracking in your watchlist we can select to be notified daily for any UP▲ DOWN▼ HIGH▲ LOW▼ alerts over a range of periods over the recent 90 days.

Setting up a business in the US as a foreigner is generally the same process as setting up a business as a US citizen. However, there may be additional legal requirements and regulations that apply to foreign nationals. It is advisable to consult with a lawyer who specializes in immigration and business law to ensure compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. Additionally, obtaining a valid work visa may be necessary in order to work in the US as a foreigner. It's important to research the specific requirements for the type of business you plan to start and the state where you plan to set it up.
