How much cash can a student carry while traveling from india to canada

[2b.or.not.2b]

Hello All,

Please advise if i will be able to carry cash of 5000 CAD as a student and 5000 CAD in my Master Card.
Will I have to declare anything at the immigration check point I am carrying exactly 10,000$.
Please advise.

If you want to satisfy the legal requirements of both India and Canada then my advise carry CAD 4000 in cash(equivalent to USD 3000) + CAD 6000 in forex card.

To repeat what is already quoted the max amount that you can carry in cash according to the RBI circular is 3000 USD or equivalent. The CBSA requires that you declare anything above 10000 CAD and may ask you to prove that you have right to the funds as well as it's source. So IMO stay well within this limit or be ready for a long wait at the POE.
Cost of living in Canada varies from one province to another and also from city to city in a single province. Typical cost of living will be 900-1200 CAD per month including rent utilities mobile bills bus pass food provision etc. So your guess is good as mine . My tip always have an X amount as backup. Goodluck
