¶B. OTTAWA 753
(U) Rick Fehr, Acting Manager, Borders Enforcement Division,
Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA),informed econoff that
there have been no changes to Canada's laws regarding bulk
cash smuggling since Embassy Ottawa's last report on the
subject (ref B). Canada's laws regarding bulk cash smuggling
are based on Financial Action Task Force (FATF) standards and
are viewed by CBSA as successful. Travelers entering Canada
must declare any cash or bearer negotiable assets of a value
greater than 10,000 Canadian Dollars (roughly 11,000 USD).
