Dividends are declared and issued in Canadian dollars. So, the variance in the actual dividends paid out can be attributed to the forex.
I own the Canadian listed shares (BNS.TO) and the new dividend that I received were $0.68/share.
Yahoo Finance is showing $0.539 on the US-listed stock - not sure why theres a diff in div amount between Nasdaq and Yahoo. Google Finance simply seems to list the original currency amount even on the US-listed stock (which is misleading).
For your last question - your yield is 3.9% for the US-listed stock (for the Canadian-listed stock, its 4.1% --> 0.68*4/66.4).
