Just go to a bank. the difference in their commission is negligible..
you will only notice a significant difference if you xchange $5k and up...
unless you're really penny pinching.. but then think about the gas it will take to drive to VBE or similar...

At BMO, their exchange rates are 1c on the dollar more than VBCE. I'm sure most banks are probably around the same. (so if VBCE sell rate is 1.0200, then BMO will sell for 1.0300). Since I usually only buy $500 at a time, it's only $5 more. Not exactly enough to make the trek to VBCE worthwhile. VBCE needs to open a location in Metro...or at least somewhere in Burnaby...
