How to format data numbers to Canadian French currency format?

In all French speaking organizations and countries, financial numbers are displayed with:

1. A space as the thousands separator

2. A comma as the decimal separator

 

Furthermore, in Canada, currency is displayed with the currency sign after a space after the number.

 

If I have 2553128457.75 in my data, I need it to be displayed as  2 553 128 457.75 $

 

1234.56 should be  1 234,56 $

 

And since we're on currency, the decimal should be rounded up to two decimal places: 9876.339 should be  9 876,34 $

 

I have been at this for hours and can't find a solution. What is the custom numeric format that will achieve this?
