$10,000 is per person not per family Canada1234!canada1234 said:1- First timers can declare the amount in cash, bank draft, TC.
2- You can take max 10,000$ per family out of country.
3- No.
The best option is [80%-20%] ratio. 80% Bank draft and 20% cash. Carrying a lot of cash for the first time would not be a wise decision. If the bank is in same city for which draft has been made then it'd require 48 hours to encash otherwise max. 30+ days.

Thanks a lot for providing ALL info in a same reach about FIRST LANDING. You are simply great as many of the followers shouts. Many of my questions are answers automatically just remaining still some:-
1. I purposely didn't take household luggage's at the first landing (only fulfilled the formalities within time limit). NOW I need to transfer huge amount of items during final shifting. In this case how can I process these personal belongings to transfer from UAE to Toronto without tax/ extra charges (considering 1st full landing), as I didn't avail this facility on our 1st landing and i don't keep any further reference (that may require) due to my ignorance/ nobody highlighted this item that time to me. Please guide me in this regard...
2. As I know I can carry 10,000X 3-person= 30,000 CAD without declaration to custom. If more than that amount what will be the procedure now- please help me to carry to take more amount as per my requirement without tax. Also, please guide me that my wife can take all of her jewelries and imitations without extra taxes/ charges. your assiatance is required...
