You should carry the funds according to their instruction if you carry less than that you will be in trouble, you should carry at least $11,086.

Disclosure of funds

If you are carrying more than C$10,000, tell a Canadian official when you arrive in Canada. If you do not tell an official, you may be fined or put in prison. These funds could be in the form of:

cash
securities in bearer form (for example, stocks, bonds, debentures, treasury bills) or
negotiable instruments in bearer form (for example, bankers' drafts, cheques, travellers' cheques or money orders).

Something to clearify please?
What does it means carrying more than C$10,000 this is per person, what about a family with 3 children??
In this case you can carry up to C$49,900 without declaring the sum?????

Nope...if you carry more than $10,000, you have to report whatever the case is.

Hope the following link of Captain Qorax can help you a lot:

What if it is in personal savings account do i still need to declare it? Or only the money at hand that i am carrying with me?
 
Some answers:

When you are Immigrating as a PR, you are supposed to bring / prove to the officer that you are carrying Required Funds, as per CIC website (according to the size of your Family).

On the airplane you will get a Card (the one posted by cockandbull), and you will tick on the coloumn that declares that you have more than 10K.

Carrying less than 10K each, does not mean that you will not have to declare the funds. As you are Principal Applicant, you are supposed to carry the required funds, which even for 1 are more than 10K... So forget about skiping declaration (on first visit, as it is required to carry funds).

There ARE NO questions asked, except,"how much money do you have"....Some might check it, some wont. BUT it should be at hand and calculated, so that you can answer the question.
There is a coloumn on COPR that has to be filled by officer, regarding how much money you have.

Carrying less funds is a bad move, and will get you in trouble. Remember ITS A REQUIREMENT for Landing.

Bank Statement, Credit Cards, etc are not the way to go. Carry Bank Draft/Cash combination. Some officer will accept statements from banks that are in UK, US, EU etc, but, still a risky and unnecessary move. Forget about statement being accepted from Banks originating from other places. If you do get through with it do update us :)

As for Credit Cards/ATM Cards - No.

Dont sweat over the funds being more than 10K. You are immigrating and can bring whatever amount you like, NO QUESTIONS asked for amounts that are just completing your proof of funds. If you bring in Millions, then I dont know what questions they would ask :) , even then if its legal and you can prove it, there should be no problem.
