Canadian dream - you mentioned that
"If you are carrying more than $10000 in cash you need to declare it at the US border. "
Is the USD 10k per person or per family?

Thanks

Once the branch people know you, typically, they would not put a hold on your cheque.

I regularly deposit my personal USD cheque at TD local branch and have not had a hold. Of course, it takes about 3 to 6 months of comfort level with the bank before they agree not to hold the funds.

The $10000 USD limit across the border is per person. However, wiring the funds have no limits other than the $20 to $40 wire transaction fee you pay at sending and/or receiving banks.

AJ, I really dont know - there was a sign posted at the US side of the crossing - if you are carrying more than 10000 USD you need to declare. I dont know whether it is 10k USD cash or cheques or other instruments or whether it is 10k per person or 10k per family (i would tend to think its 10k cash irrespective of no of people, but I could be wrong).
