Scotiabank Jamaica has posted exchange rates on their website. For Sept. 1 they buy CDN $ at J85.09 and buy US $ at J83.40. The Canadian dollar is higher than US right now, but is not as well known or accepted as US dollars. Whatever you do, STAY AWAY from people on the street offering to exchange money. They hang around the cambios and banks, and many are thieves! Also don't change money at the airport cambio, they really give a low rate compared to the banks.
