What to do with Canadian debt after entry into the USA through K1 Visa?

We always just used Paypal to send money to Dh's American accounts while he lived here, we'll probably do the same once we move down. It just takes some pre-planning as it takes a few days to process.

How are the rates?

I have a Canadian account with Scotiabank and can use the Bank of America ATMs to withdraw cash from it. There's a bit of a fee, but for the convenience it isn't a large amount. Depending on your location it may be an option for you too.

I kept my Canadian RBC account open and opened a US RBC account. I could transfer money from my joint account with my husband (not RBC but a full U.S. bank) and then do a cross-border transfer between my U.S. RBC account and my Canadian RBC account. Then paid Visa bill from there.

There are a number of ways to do it and I see many helpful ideas have been listed already by other members.
