1. Mint does not allow you to have many currency accounts. As a result, your assets will be shown in the currency of your Mint account rather than being converted to the required amount.
2. If your Mint account is in Canadian dollars, your portfolio balance may appear to be lower than it actually is because US assets will not be converted to CAD.
3. It's currently not possible to link your Wealthsimple Trade account to Mint.
