Hi I am leaving to Canada as student, How much CAD can I carry in hand and Is Forex card accepted everywhere in Canada ? Like for say (taxi, malls to buy sim card). Although I have $10,000CAD as GIC where I can only get it after arriving in Canada. So before that, I need some cash in hand. Can anyone tell me what's the best idea to carry cash in hand or to buy Forex card? and how much is allowed at airport security check?
