There’s no limit, to how much foreign currency you can bring into India.
Although, you will have to declare it if the amount exceeds US $5,000 in notes and coins, or US $10,000 in notes, coins and traveller’s cheques.
--------
Note it is in US dollars, not Canadian dollars so do the necessary conversion.
Also if you declare there is no issue, this is only for undeclared money.
US also has its own rules. In case you are going out of the airport and actually seeing California and not just transiting through on the way to India.I
Again it is all in USD, so do necessary conversion for $ CAD
-------
How much can I bring into the U.S.?
There is no limit on the amount of money that can be taken out of or brought into the United States. However, if a person or persons traveling together and filing a joint declaration (CBP Form 6059-B) have more than $10,000 in currency or negotiable monetary instruments, they must fill out a "Report of International Transportation of Currency and Monetary Instruments" FinCEN 105 (former CF 4790).
Please be aware, if persons/family members traveling together have more than $10,000, they cannot divide the currency between each other to avoid declaring the currency.
For example, if one person is carrying $5,000 and the other has $6,000, they have a total of $11, 000 in their possession and must report it on a FinCEN 105. If a person or family fails to declare their monetary instruments in amounts more than $10,000 their monetary instrument(s) may be subject to forfeiture and could result in civil and or criminal penalties.
The FinCEN 105 can be obtained prior to traveling or when going through CBP. If assistance is required, a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officer can help with filling out the form.

Usually there is No limit if you declare and can prove the source of funds.
They just want to see if it is not drug money, terrorist money, money laundering, crime money etc. That's all.
So when in doubt always declare if it is more than what they allow, without declaring.

Hello,
My parents are coming to Canada next week. what is allow limit to bring Canadian dollars here in Canada?
They are planning to carry around $6000 CAD. Do they have to declare it? They are not very good in process at the airport procedures. Is it any other way to avoid any conflicts?

Check the CBSA PDF declaration card in the link below.
https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/e311-eng.html
They will have to fill that up on landing.
$ 6,000 is fine, they DON'T have to declare it.
Only $ 10,000 or more they have to declare as the PDF CBSA card mentions.
They will give a copy of that card to your parents about half an hour before the plane is supposed to land. Both of them just fill one card combined. At the airport they just self scan the card in a kiosk and then proceed to the cbsa booth, where the officer will just briefly look at their passport, visa, declaration card or scan the bar code of the passport which is machine readable.
Don't bring anything prohibited on the list and you won't have any issues. This includes food items like dairy, meat, fruits, veggies etc.
Just ssk them to bring their passports, ViSA and personal belongings like clothes, money etc.
Keep photocopies of passport and visa also in case you lose the original in transit.
