The Canadian dollar closed at .8267 U.S. on Friday.
In theory U.S. $200 would equal about $242 Canadian.
However, the banks like to make a little money on transactions (about 3%), so......., my guess would be approximately $233 Canadian for your U.S. $200.
Please realize I did this all in my head, so forgive me if I'm off slightly.
*It will be hard to find a bank open at the moment, it's 7:05 pm on a Sunday.
Try 8 am tomorrow at your local C.T. branch.

http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi check this site and there are many others; 1USD = 1.21 CAD and that is pretty good if you are bringing in USD
I find the best rates at the ATM....get right near the exchange rate and the ATM charges just $2-$3...and my Schwab account refunds the ATM most times...used to be all the time but sometimes not now.
Plus you can go at any time, I took as much as $800 out at a time...think you can go higher yet..well in to the thousands if your card is set up for that and the ATM has it. I like the casino or big banks ATM...no party stores, strip club atm's for me.
Edit...you need to plan ahead and have the cash in your account and use a debit card, not cerdit card or you pay like 20% loan shark rate, lol.
It is a little un-easy at first...being hundreds of miles from home and you put a little card in the machine and punch in 4 numbers but out comes the cash, even at 3 am one time.

ATM is usually best ...
If you have to convert cash the casino in NF or the racetrack slots in FE are probably your best bet.

www.xe.com is a good site to check rates.
Also found the Casino and the Slots in Ft Erie give the best rates.
ATMs used to be great a few years ago but now many are charging a few points.
