This method allows you to choose whether to use the balance in your account or pay by credit card.
If you opt for your PayPal wallet, you'll be subjected to PayPal's exchange rate fees.
Since the currency conversion costs at major card providers can also be expensive, it's recommended that you choose PayPal's exchange rates. However, this depends on whether your card provider offers you favorable exchange rates.
Whenever you send money to somebody else's account in a different currency, you'll pay the transfer fees in addition to other fees. These fees include;
PayPal balance/bank account: C$2.99 fixed fee.
Credit/debit card: C$2.99 fixed fee + 2.90%
If you use PayPal to transfer money from Canadian to US dollars using a debit or credit card, you could be charged an exchange rate fee by your card provider.
