Cartão de Crédito

Hoje o cartão é, provavelmente, o meio mais seguro e prático de se pagar contas no exterior. Praticamente todos os estabelecimentos aceitam esta forma de pagamento, mas ao contrário do Brasil, não existe o parcelamento dos gastos. Em muitos estabelecimentos como hotéis e locadoras de carros eles são imprescindíveis, pois servem de caução e garantia para a empresa.
Outra vantagem do cartão é a segurança, pois em caso de perda e extravio além de ser possível o seu bloqueio, as operadoras normalmente conseguem repô-lo em pouco tempo, entregando um novo cartão diretamente em seu hotel.
Existem, ainda, empresas como a Cotação, que fornecem cartões de rendimento. São cartões, como por exemplo, o Visa TravelMoney, internacionais, pré-pagos e recarregáveis que podem ser utilizados tanto para saques como para compras como se você um cartão de crédito normal. Desta forma você saberá exatamente quanto possui para gastar durante sua viagem.
Portanto, mesmo prevendo efetuar seus gastos apenas em dinheiro, sugerimos seja sempre levado um cartão de crédito internacional para o caso de emergências. Este tipo de cartão pode facilmente ser adquirido nos bancos nacionais.

Dinheiro

Procure sempre levar um pouco da moeda corrente de seu destino em notas pequenas para facilitar os primeiros dias da viagem. Quando possível, opte por Traveller´s Checks, pois são mais seguros e podem ser facilmente substituídos no caso de perda ou furto.
Lembre-se, sempre que sair com mais de R$ 10.000,00 (dez mil reais) ou seu equivalente em moeda estrangeira de efetuar sua declaração na alfândega.

Compras - Vancouver

Guarda chuva

Se você gostar de guarda-chuvas de cores berrantes tipo verde-limão, rosa-choque ou roxo, dá pra comprar na London Drugs. Baratinho... uns CAD$18 + tax.....

Tem em varias lojas, mas nao recomendo que compre nas lojas de um dolar. Um guarda chuva meia boca aqui sai no minimo US$ 10,00. Na The bay, no centro voce encontra varios de diversos modelos, precos e tamanhos. Mas o ideal mesmo e a capa de chuva. No Metrotown voce pode encontrar algumas lojas que vendem capa de chuva.

Feira de Cloverdale

pra quem tiver carro. Tem de tudo!! desde xicaras inglesas, brecho, coisas antigas e novas, quadros, etc... E camisetas do canada??? Por 20 dolares , vc leva 8 ou 10. cada uma mais linda que a outra e malha boa!! depois de pagar 15 + txs no Mall e a malha ser quente demais, (nao usaram no brasil nem para caminhar) descobri a Feira de Cloverdale... so abre domingo e paga-se 3 dolares para entrar e la ...tem de tudo ,por mixaria.

http://www.cloverdale.bc.ca/

Básico

Tudo o que voce precisar de basico como algodao, cotonete, shampoo, pasta de dente, caderno, lapis, borracha, etc... va no dolar shop. Tem alguns dolar shop que nao vendem bons cosmeticos. Em compensacao fui em alguns que vendem shampoos de marcas famosas, so que com frascos menores dos vendidos em mercado por apenas um dolar. Vale a pena e nao sao cosmeticos Made in China.

Suvenirs

Nao comprem na Gastown, la e caro. Tem uma rua, retirada do centro, a Fraser Street, onde voce pode pegar o onibus no centro mesmo. La voce encontra Suvenirs a metade do preco ou ate menos da metade do preco. Eu desci na Fraser com a 41th street. A partir dai comecam as lojas de suvenirs. Sao lojas de atacado, e meio baguncado, mas voce encontra camisetas de Vancouver a partir de US$ 5,00 (pena que descobri isso depois de ter comprado as camisetas pra minha familia). Chaveiros bons daqueles que chegam a custar cerca de US$ 4,00 voce paga US$ 0.95. A bandeira do Canada encontrei por US$ 0,95 na loja A-Mart (Fraser Street, 6350), minha amiga comprou a mesma bandeira numa outra loja de suvenirs do centro e pagou US$ 3,50. Idem para imas de geladeira... La voce nao paga mais de US$ 1,00 para um ima de geladeira.

Perfumes importados e alguns artigos de griffe

Winners store. Fica na Granville, se nao me engano, esquina com a Robson. A loja fica em cima da Futureshop. La voce encontra alguns perfumes importados de griffe a metade do preco. A desvantagem e que voce nao encontra variedade. Ha tambem bolsas e carteiras de griffe a precos acessiveis, artigos originais.Victoria SecretsLojas La Senza, na Robson Street, no pacific Center e no shopping metrotown.Pelo que lembre e isso...

Roupa pra frio:

Eletrônicos

BTW, dica para o pessoal que quer comprar eletronico pela internet (ou pelo menos fazer comparaçao) http://www.shopbot.ca/, o site faz uma compraçao do produto em sites *canadenses*, vale a pena.

www.factorydirect.ca/ http://www.futureshop.ca/

Muita coisa lá eh Refurbished... Eles também tem muito opened box, que são produtos que os clientes de outras lojas devolveram porque não gostaram mas que não possuem nenhum defeito... Alias, Refurbished tb nao possui defeito: são produtos que apresentaram pequenos defeitos, voltaram para a fabrica, foram devidamente reparados e testados e postos a venda.. Se a pessoa quiser pode comprar (baratinho) uma garantia extra de ate 3 anos e ficar tranquilo.. eles so possuem lojas em Ontario... mas vendem pelo site.. se v c tiver um cartao de credito internacional você pode comprar e receber em qualquer cidade do Canada.. é rapido e seguro..
