Does this allow you to use the Canadian card in Canada w/o paying currency exchange fees? I'm an American who spends a lot of time in Canada and am trying to figure out if there's a way I can do this. I was thinking I'd have to open a bank account in Vancouver and then apply for a card (assuming I can do that, which is unclear to me) -- but maybe there's a shorter way?
