Since the dollar is almost par with the US, it's a really good time for Canadians to shop in the states. So let's plan a shopping trip!!
It's also a good time to convert your CAD to USD. If you have a large sum of money sitting in the bank and your not planning on touching it for a while, consider exchanging it for US dollars. At this time you'd lose the least amount of money in the conversion. Eventually, our dollar will go back down and you can change it back to Canadian to make a profit.
Now, there is always the chance that the Canadian dollar will rise above the US dollar, in which case you would suffer a loss if you needed to change it back. I don't think that will happen, but don't come crying to me if it does!
