In Canadian documents, the correct way is 30 CAN $. (30 $ CAN, in French). So the rule is not the same in every place.

This is not correct for English documents in Canada. In English the dollar sign goes before the numerals. $50.00

See Public Works and Government Services Canada - Chapter 5.11 Money

When using the ISO symbol CAD, the letters CAD should be placed before the numerals, without a dollar sign and with a single space separating the letters and the numerals: CAD 30

The symbols Can$ or CAN$ can also be used, placed before the numerals without a space - Can$30 or CAN$30 - however, this is rare.

For the latter two cases see Public Works and Government Services Canada - Chapter 5.26 Other considerations
