Hi Chris,
You need to ask your post office for an international money order,
then he can cash it....but the US post office will charge you $3.25
instead of $0.90 to issue it.  :(

Canada is lumped into the same category as Bolivia and Nigeria when
it comes to sending postal money orders from the US.

Similarly, when a Canadian sends you funds, it's probably a US dollar
"international" money order, which costs the sender more than a
regular Canadian dollar domestic money order....I doubt you would
want to get paid in Canadian loonies nor would your bank accept a
Canadian dollar money order without horrendous fees.

I've lived on both sides of the border. Some things just don't make
sense even though both countries are very good neighbors.
