How much money you need to take?

Limit is 10K USD per person for cash from Pakistan If 2 adults you can easily bring 20K USD [REMEMBER per adult means per adult. By mistake if your spouse or you is found with 10001 dollar you will be in interrogation]

Your bag should contain maximum 10k, your spouse 10K, if carrying adult you can make a seperate envelope and put money and in case asked you can say this is money for 1 child etc]

Cash is most convenient.

Hi

You should see if any of the major online transfer companies operate in Pakistan.

You can bring any amount of money, jewelry, financial products, but you have to declare it at the border if more than $10k, not a big deal

If you don't declare it, then it could be a problem and a fine to pay

Did you asked to your Pakistan bank?
Most probably they can do it, just ask for fees and compare with some other ways.

I used PayPal (no with Pakistan) a few times, but it's a bit more complicated and fees are not too cheap

There is no limit on the amount of cash you can carry. If you carry more than $10,000, you have to declare to customs. When you are a new permanent resident you need that kind of money. However, I wouldn't recommend carrying such large amounts of cash.
