Carrying CAD while making first entry to Canada

[Rocky3604]

Hi,

First of all let me thank this forum with whose help I was able to get the PR and am travelling this month.

I have a query regarding carrying cash. As per many discussions i saw that there is a limit to carry 10,000 CAD.

1. Is this limit per family? Since I am travelling with my wife and kid (that makes us 3 members) should i be bringing 19390 CAD as per below link

2. Suppose if i bring forex card, do i need to declare it to immigration officer?

Please help me at the earliest so that i could plan it properly and wisely.

There is no limit. You could bring a million dollars in cash if you want. You simply have to declare of over $10,000.

Just make sure you declare any money above 10,000 at Port of entry. You will be asked to visit the customs officer. You should have proof of income ready but depending on the money you carry, they might not even ask for the proof. As per my knowledge 40,000 per couple is accepted without any proof.
