Thank you.
You can also use it to buy Gift Cards at various grocery stores, gas stations etc if you want..if you don't want cash.
But cash is best & the exchange rate is good right now. The daily limits are also quite high, so depending on your amount you can easily get it back in a couple of days from the ATM.
Whatever you do , do it fast , if it expires its a big hassle getting it back..too much red tape & bureaucracy.
adamthorat, Fido and irock - Thank you very much for these wonderful suggestions !
will work on them and post my feedback.

Thank you.
FH : so the transaction on 15th March, at the prepaid card/home bank in India shows CAD 403 was w/drawn and there is a debit from the card balance of USD 332.
Now this may give the composite rate/ what RBC charged and what rate Visa charged !
Agains this another transaction where i paid for groceries Walmart on another day, may perhaps give directly what Visa charged for the groceries transaction !

I walked into TD , RBC offices out of curiosity on this topic to understand what is the daily limit and the charge per transaction only received "a confused surprised look and prepaid travel card" from TD and "Not too sure on the charge and don't know transaction limit " from RBC reps respectively
So I called in SBI and ICICI call center. Both said "depends on the Canadian limitations" beyond that they couldn't help much. May be it was just not my day !!!
Before going there I read the info from respective back but since was not too sure on the exact limit/ charge
