Convertable peso vs cuban peso??

I’m traveling to Cuba soon, and I’m confused about the two types of currency - the convertible peso and the regular peso.

Which one do I need? Or do I need different ones for different things?

Also, I’m Canadian, and I’ve read something about not being able to exchange pesos in Canada…what’s up with that? Is it true?

I hear that some people have scams to tourists who don’t know the difference between the pesos…

Thanks for any help and advice!
