End-user prices of U.S. products and services to Canadian customers, in Canadian dollars, are substantially affected by the exchange rate with the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar. The last time the Canadian dollar was at parity with the U.S. dollar was in February 2013.

Canadian buyers are price-sensitive; therefore, U.S. companies should research competitors’ prices and wholesale distribution margin models within their industry and be prepared to negotiate on price to win contracts while offering attractive margins to all parties. U.S. companies should also publish price lists in Canadian dollars.
