There are many people who once lived in Calgary, but now live in the US and get paid in USD, and who would like to return to Calgary.

For someone who wants to buy a summer home or seasonal vacation spot in Calgary (although admittedly, this would probably not be the ideal property for that), the CDN:USD conversion can be meaningful. That's all.
