You can carry as much as you like, but you have to DECLARE if you have more than $10'000 in cash. What you have on your cash card will not be of interest.

As I read correctly, you are traveling to Canada, not immigrating. That would be different.

Yes, but you can't use the Cash card as proof of funds, CBSA has no way of determining how much it is worth.

Thanks for your reply --

in this case we have left with only 2 options
1. Cash
2. Travellers Cheques

Do let me know the best way to carry the funds at the time of landing

When I came here, I only had a bank statement with me, a couple of debit and credit cards. The CBSA agent did NOT ask me for any proof.

The CBSA agent did NOT ask me for any proof.

So what? He also could ask.

Sure, he could have, but he did not. I am only sharing what happened. No reason to jump at me.

If you are required to provide proof of funds, you cannot use a Travel Cash Card. There is NO way for the officer to verify the balance on such a card, so they are not acceptable proof that you have sufficient funds to support yourself as required.
