What are the per diems for travel to Canada or Mexico? Do I have to have foreign travel approval?
There are no per diems for Canada or Mexico. You can file actual expenses, but they should be reasonable. Please pay attention to what the current exchange rate is (it often changes daily), and convert your receipts before you hand them in. Going to either of these two countries is not considered foreign travel, therefore it does not require special approval but receipts are required since you are allowed to claim actual expenses.
