How much does it cost to buy U.S. stocks on Wealthsimple?

Wealthsimple is a zero-commission trading platform, so you are not paying the exorbitant fees as you would on other outlets, such as TD direct-investing or Scotia iTrade.

The only thing you will pay is the exchange rate transaction, which is 1.5% but it is already included in the conversion from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars.
