Thank you all for the reply and very informative discussion. Many students go to Canada under Study permit carrying Max Cad $ 10,000.00 and never intercepted by the Immigration in Dhaka and many PR holders who already in Canada have taken Cad $ more than 10 Thousand first time they traveled to Canada.
About the mobile, if I any model of Samsung max price not exceeding BDT 10,000.00, will it work in Canada (bought from Bangladesh)? Please shade some light on it. In google it is written that -
"All networks in Canada cuurently support one or more of GSM / AWS / UMTS / HSDPA / LTE . North American GSM uses 850/
1900 MHz , UMTS/HSDPA 850/
1900Mhz, LTE 1700/2600, AWS 1700/2100 frequencies. Makre sure your own phone is compatible with these frequencies"

Hello dear all,
Its been a while I am not active in the forum, as had been busy these days.
for your information I am here in Toronto for last 3 and half years. Will try to be in the forum on a regular basis from now on.
For your information:
a) I think 9000 cad should not be of any issue in the airport. A family of 04 can easily carry 28,000 by law (if the yearly quota is not done).
just be bold and proceed, you know and they also know, you are not trying to do anything out of the box with 9000, so relax.
b) Any phone from Dhaka is fine except 1/2 carriers (Wind and mobilicity as far as I recall) the rest are just fine. I used my 4S just till last year untill I dropped it into water. All samsung, Huawaii, Motorola, Blackberry, I phone, Nokia etc are just fine. Its a good idea to bring mobile sets as they are expensive here with plans. Go for sim only plans and I strongly recommend Chater with 25 Cad + tax. It is sim only with no long term contract.Its the best. I am still using this service for last 3.5 years, all my friends are using this service too.
To all others if any of you need any sort of help or info mail me. Will try to shed some lights on accommodations, schooling, jobs and further studies in the open forum.
Cheers and best of luck to you all.
