As far as I can find, here is a little history of the US/ Canadian exchange rate. In 1949, the US sterling silver dollar was devalued and Canada followed, returning to a peg of 1.1 Canadian dollars = 1 U.S. dollar. However, Canada allowed its dollar to float in 1950, only returning to a fixed exchange rate in 1962. The exchange rate started low from 1950 through 1952. Then from 1961 thuough 1971, 1974 through some of 1975 and 1976 through the mid 2007.

A higher currency makes a country's exports more expensive?

It has to do with exchange rates. Consider the US and Canada. If one US dollar is worth $1.50 Canadian, then US dollars buy 50% more Canadian products than an equal number of Canadian dollars would. But if the value of the Canadian dollar rises, so that it is worth the same as an American dollar, then American dollars buy only the same amount of Canadian products as an equal number of Canadian dollars.

Why does the us dollar worth more than the Canadian dollar?

Actually, as of today (October 8, 2012) the Canadian dollar is worth more! The Canadian dollar is worth about $1.02 U.S. 1 U.S. dollar is only worth 98 Canadian cents. There are many reasons why the relative values of currencies change. - One reason is speculation by currency market traders. - Another is interest rates (Although they haven't changed much recently, I find this fairly easy to understand). If interest rates are higher in Canada, then people in the U.S. will want to invest their money in Canada. To do this, they will need Canadian dollars, and since more people will be wanting to buy Canadian dollars, they will become more expensive. - A similar argument can apply to real estate. If people in the U.S. feel that Canadian real estate is more likely to increase in value than U.S. American real estate, they would want to invest in Canada ... resulting in 'upward pressure' on the Canadian dollar.

If the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar is 11.3 which is true?

If the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar (USD) and the Canadian dollar (CAD) is 11.3, it means that 1 U.S. dollar is equivalent to 11.3 Canadian dollars. This indicates a strong U.S. dollar compared to the Canadian dollar. Consequently, it would be more expensive for Canadians to purchase U.S. goods and services. This rate suggests significant economic differences between the two countries.
