Fees are figured in current country currency. You pay your country’s current $50 in their currency, not US. So Canada would be sending us $35 US not $50. Our membership program would show $50 on the invoice which is in USD. When you pay with PayPal, it should show the conversion if it can see that you are in a different country. Sometimes, based on your PayPal settings (or any payment processor), it would show the $50 and the credit card would then complete the conversion on its own. It’s similar to what happens when you purchase anything online in a different currency.
