Transfer Money from USA to Canada

[mikeh45]

 Is there a fee to the recipient when money is transferred from the USA to Canada?

If you are buying something then yes the seller pays a fee.

If you are using the family / friends option then you will pay currency conversion charges and the receiver will pay cross border charges.

What are the conversion charges on 1000 USD ? I have a USD bank account does this mean no conversion charges need be charged? I would use the Friends/Family option so what would be the cross border charges on 1000 USD.

Thank you
