Anyone know the cheapest place in either Toronto or Montreal (preferably) to accomplish this?

So far I found that BOM charges 8% over $250 and 2.5% to convert into US Bills.

Any other ideas?

What about dump less than $250. Looks like it is free there. From http://newsroom.bmo.com/press-releases/a-penny-saved-bmo-recommends-canadians-cash-in-the-tsx-bmo-201205030787630001
