It's real money, as long as you spend it in Canada on non-imported goods.
It's when you try to buy something in the US or England, that it becomes a

cheap for someone to exchange their money for Canadian and visit here.
You don't have to walk very far to a restaurant in Montreal, either. They
have a bundle of very good and inexpensive restaurants.
Sept. was cold??? You dont' really want to be here for winter then ...
