  Like most countries, Canada requires you to declare all cash, bonds, stocks, and other forms of currency to the Canada Border Services Agency. If it is less than a certain amount, you will not need to do anything else. If you are bringing in a lot of money, you will have an additional step to follow.
  
  

Under $10,000

• You will not have any issues crossing the border if you are traveling into Canada with $10,000 Canadian Dollars or less. When you cross into Canada, you will be asked to fill out a customs declaration that states all the things that you are bringing with you. On that form, report the amount of money you are bringing with you, and you should have no problem crossing the border. Customs officers have the right to inspect your baggage and view the cash you have with you, so be sure to declare the proper amount.
  
  

More than $10,000

• If you are trying to bring in more than $10,000 Canadian Dollars, you will have to fill out additional documentation. If you are carrying the money on behalf of yourself, you will fill out the "Cross-Border Currency or Monetary Instruments Report - Individual" form. If you are carrying the funds for someone else, you will fill out the "Cross-Border Currency or Monetary Instruments Report - General" form. You can print and fill out the form before arriving at the border, or you can obtain one from customs officers when you arrive.
  
  

Mail or Courier

• If you are sending more than $10,000 Canadian Dollars into Canada via mail or courier, you will also need to complete documentation. Choose either the Cross-Border Currency or Monetary Instruments Report - Individual" or "Cross-Border Currency or Monetary Instruments Report - General" form, depending on your situation, and include it with the funds you are sending into Canada. You must also send a copy of the same form to the nearest Canadian Border Services Agency office.
