urgent help needed

I am going to land in Canada next weekend, and I have some questions about landing. Please help if you happen to know any of them. Many thanks.

(1) When landing, am I required to bring certain amount of money?
If that is not required, and since I will leave Canada two days after landing, is it necessary to bring a large amount of money? If I bring money with me next time when I enter Canada, will I be required to pay tax for the money?
If certain amount of money is required, then can I take it with me when leaving Canada two days after landing, or must I leave it in Canada?

(2) People are talking about list of "goods to follow". Is there a requirement on how soon you need to bring those goods to Canada to avoid any customs tax? Is it one year or five years?

(3) Is there an official website which has the rules for the questions like above? I didn't find any information about these things on Canada immigration website http://www.cic.gc.ca.

Thank you.

"The Government of Canada does not provide financial support to new skilled worker immigrants.

You must show that you have enough money to support yourself and your dependants after you arrive in Canada. You cannot borrow this money from another person. You must be able to use this money to support your family.

You will need to provide proof of your funds when you submit your application for immigration.

The amount of money that you need to have to support your family is determined by the size of your family.

Number of Family Members - 1
Funds Required(in Canadian dollars) - $9,897

How Much Money Should you Bring?

Find out how much it costs to live where you are planning to settle in Canada.

Bring as much money as possible to make moving and finding a home in Canada easier.
Disclosure of funds:

If you are carrying more than CDN $10,000, tell a Canadian official when you arrive in Canada. If you do not tell an official you may be fined or put in prison. These funds could be in the form of:

cash;
securities in bearer form (for example: stocks, bonds, debentures, treasury bills); or
negotiable instruments in bearer form (for example: bankers’ drafts, cheques, travellers’ cheques, money orders.) "
