Don’t forget to buy Canadian Dollars before travelling to Canada
Thinking of visiting Canada? It’s a brilliant opportunity to explore new cultures and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of this vast and diverse country. One of the key steps in preparing for your trip is exchanging your Swedish Krona (SEK) for Canadian Dollars (CAD). The SEK to CAD exchange is quick and easy at any of our ChangeGroup branches.
We strongly recommend exchanging your money before departure so you can focus on enjoying your journey without the hassle of currency exchange on arrival.
Tips for budgeting your stay
For a comfortable visit to Canada, we suggest a daily budget of between CAD 90 and CAD 130, depending on your travel style. Meals typically cost around CAD 64 per day, while accommodation can range from CAD 115 to CAD 280, depending on the level of service and location.
To get the best prices for tickets to attractions such as museums, theatres, and amusement parks, booking online is highly recommended.

Suggestions for your time in Canada
Winter sports are a must when visiting Canada. The season offers incredible opportunities for snowboarding and other activities. Taxi rides into the wilderness can be scenic and cost-effective, at around CAD 1.70 per kilometre—so having your Canadian Dollars ready is a smart move!
Visit Château Frontenac
One of Canada’s most iconic buildings, this architectural gem is just a short 3-minute taxi ride from Gare du Palais. Don’t miss it!
Try some maple syrup
In Canada, a tin of maple syrup can range from CAD 15 to CAD 76, depending on the quality. A perfect souvenir—or breakfast companion.
Taste the tourtière
We highly recommend trying tourtière, a traditional Canadian meat pie often served during the festive season. In restaurants, it typically costs between CAD 6 and CAD 23. And don’t forget the tip—another good reason to have some cash on hand.
Explore nightlife and nature
Looking for a night out? Head to one of Canada’s top nightclubs like Bord'Elle, Club Unity, or Muzique, or check out seasonal music festivals. Prefer nature? A visit to Newfoundland offers a chance to spot majestic whales, including humpbacks and sperm whales.
When do you need cash in Canada?
Card payments are widely accepted throughout the country, but it is still useful to have Canadian dollars in cash in certain situations.
Flea markets are common across Canada, and if you plan to visit a few, you will usually need to pay a few dollars to enter. Once inside, your purchases will also generally need to be paid in cash. Similarly, food trucks, farmers’ markets and festival stalls may sometimes only accept cash.
Tipping is also very common in Canada. Although you can leave a tip by card, it is often appreciated when it is given in cash. In some cases, cash will be the only option, particularly when thanking a tour guide or a street musician.
In some small towns, local buses also require cash payment for the journey. The same applies to certain ferry services or regional shuttles.
