So get another bank, or at least an account at a nice bank.  Canadian
banks and institutions are huge -- far larger than the average U.S. bank that
these people will take a check from.   Some U.S. banks must take them, if
B of A and Wells Fargo won't.   I think it's quite annoying when, if foreigners
go to the trouble of getting accounts in your currency, the banks still cause
trouble.
