can any one help me in understanding this statement?

According to IRCC website:
"
Disclose your funds
You must tell the border officer if you arrive in Canada with more than CAN$10,000. If you don’t, we may fine you and seize your funds.

This amount can include:

• cash
• bankers’ drafts, cheques, traveller’s cheques or money orders
• securities that belong to you (stocks, bonds, debentures, or treasury bills)

"

My question: do they mean that I should not carry more than 10kCAD cash with me through the airport?
or they mean that I should prove that I have more than 10kCAD to survive my self?

Sorry for this question but just to double-check all things.

This is basically stating that any traveler that is carrying more that 10kCAD in the following forms must declare the same to a border officer:

• cash
• bankers’ drafts, cheques, traveller’s cheques or money orders
• securities that belong to you (stocks, bonds, debentures, or treasury bills)

It means just tell them how much money's on you in any form without hiding anything.
hiding will result in fines not having it.

Funds includes cash, cheque’s, bank drafts, bonds, etc. Anything that can be converted to cash. There is no tax involved. They just want a record of the funds enetering the country.

No, you just need to declare that you have more than 10k CAD. If you do then there's no issues. It's an anti-money laundering/organized crime measure.
