Currency exchange rate is another matter and conversions are generally based on the daily Bank of Canada exchange rates.
Thanks for the info Marc. Leslie and I have an account at a credit union but we rarely use it as the location is inconvenient. In my old age I'm a better customer of my banks than I used to be so maybe one of them would do me a favor. OTOH, I'm now only a seller of bike stuff so what I really need would be reasonable charges for converting/depositing foreign checks.
