One last point as to what constitutes seizure of funds.

You're a bad boy, haven't been entirely truthful, as in not declaring 10k. They've determined you are not a criminal terrorist etc. First level of enforcement action is a note on your file along with a probable $250 penalty. In other words, all funds seized, and returned back to you on payment if penalty.

Second level if enforcement - you've pissed them off - I don't know what that constitutes, but penalty us like above, except it's a lot more. They might even send you back to where you came from if your not a Canadian resident.

Third level of enforcement - kiss your money goodbye. There's also a good opportunity if receiving no charge accommodation, courtesy of local law enforcement.
