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.
Thanks a lot Mitro for information and advised....appreciated....
RBO.,
You have been provided with great information and instructions too. So your Parents are well taken care of IF THEY FOLLOW IT.
Under this a PDF FILE, when you open you will get to know and might recall too, the things that you fill. Ask them to print one out and fill it too. It will become easy in flight to repeat filling another.
In one of the boxes it says that you do hot have more than $10,000 CANADIAN (not US) so, they do say that between the two of them, they have less than $10,000 Can. This card is ONE per family.
Please make sure that they have less than the same after adding up what it is the amount that they carry.
Safe Trip and BON VOYAGE.

Declaration of Money carried PER FAMILY/ Per Individual is a requirement into a Country is a Country Specific Requirement.
Your doubts and a request for clarification on the amounts carried by Individuals and Families are VALID and here is a little help and please be guided by them.
What brought about this limit and the declaration of Foreign Currency by travelers was due to a few Global Events that precipitated a few calamitous events and also formation of Radical Groups that played havoc in our lives and the demand that we eliminate the groups and its supporters. That brought in the Money Laundering Laws.Just to quote a few ISIS/ISIL and OBL and few others that are well known to all of us.
In its wake ALL the Governments got together and formed an agency called FINTRAC. They keep track of people who carry $5,000 and above on individuals who travel internationally.
If the sum Doubles to10,000, then you become a marked man.
Indian Government has a Channel called GREEN CHANNEL and those who carry $5,000 or less are waived through into India. They also know that you will be spending the same there. Indian Government is not very specific and hence you and your spouse can also carry a similar amount. In fact ANY AMOUNT INTO INDIA. It is better to declare any amount that you carry into India on their Currency Declaration Form, (CDF) because you and me are world travelers and might need a THOUSAND OR TWO in our travels back on our return for an intermediate stop or for a days hotel stay or any other expense that you may have targeted.
ALSO, there is a special desk to help you with that. This CDF gives you and your Spouse too an EDGE in cashing the Foreign Exchange that you bring into India in any Location that will ask for your declaration, such as AMEX. or a Bank. Also, this will enable you to take a few back on your return flight back for your use. The Check post at the Immigration Clearance at the Emigration in INDIA ask you for one such Document from you if are an Indian going out of India on his travels and you and me both get Squeezed into this category when we leave India. A CDF will get us out smoothly. Others leaving India and carrying Foreign Currency get a Form from The Reserve Bank for their exit.
In CANADA, they ONLY allow $10,000 ""CANADIAN"" into CANADA and they specify it is PER FAMILY. they only want ONE Declaration Card and not Many. Hence PER FAMILY.
Hope this helps..
FH.

I don't know what the problem is in declaring the money if it is legitimate.
They don't care. It is just a tick mark on the CBSA declaration form.
It's not like they start counting the money or inform CRA if you bring $ 20,000 instead of $ 10,000.
They don't care, they just want to know if it is not drug money, money laundering, terrorist financing etc.
They don't care about common mom and pops like us. So just tick mark the right box more or less than $ 10,000 on the CBSA declaration card they hand you on the plane when your plane is about to land.
