I'm going to be in Toronto next month and am considering going on a date.  I'm curious if providers will generally accept cash in USD since I already have some on me and don't want to deal with exchanging it if it can be avoided.  Of course I'll be sure to ask specific providers before committing, but I was just curious what others have experienced.

as long as the gentleman lets me know beforehand that he plans to pay with a different currency. This way, I can make sure I know what the difference is. Just avoids any nonsense before our fun together.  

Enjoy Toronto, I will be back next month and can't wait to get back.

I accept USD if the gents donate the same amount. For example $350 CAD ~ $350 USD (to me )
Toronto is fun and hope you will enjoy your trip

I agree Olivia...same donation in USD

Since $350 CAD is roughly equal to $289 US (at today's exchange rates), I am sure you would be very happy to get $350 US!!

Of course! and when the lady is happy, you will be happy too

Absolutely agree lol...you still have to pay similar amount in US anyway but when you pay the same amount USD, you are considered as a generous gentleman.

I certainly don't disagree with a generous tip! I just think that it is not obvious to all that paying the same in US currency as the requested amount in Canadian currency means you are paying more, and how much more you are paying.

I look at it this way, when a date is paying in USD in Canada they are paying me because as they stated they don "want to deal with exchanging it if it can be avoided." but that means the burden is on me to do so. My time, energy, and effort goes into that so the cost of all that is being paid for. I am happy to exchange the funds at my bank and on my time after our date but my date must realize that it is the convenience that they are paying for, if they chooses not to then I am happy to accept payment in Canadian dollars and they can exchange the money on their time at their bank, or incur any foreign transaction fees they might have should they choose to withdraw the funds at the ATM (with withdrawal limits I find this isn't always an option)  

We as well as most financially sound Toronto agencies are happy to receive USD
The only caveat is that we accept them at par with CAD

And at par is about a 20%-25% premium so of course they would accept.  

Get $CDN from a cash machine at the real exchange about 1.35/$US rate via Visa or Mastercard.  Not the expensive money changers at the airport or hotels.

I really don't mind paying the extra with the exchange rate.Any girl who has to have my sorry ass all over her deserves the extra coin.My one question is would the girl receive the extra amount and could that be considered a tip or does it go to the house at the agency?Hope you don't mind the question.
