9100 USD is well over 10,000 CDN, not sure what the beef here is.
The law students comment doesn't take into account the exchange rate (talk about college fail) There is no "transit only" where you don't go through the customs inspection process since you are legally entering Canada no matter if you are flying out an hour later. Why? Thinking cap time.... flight cancels you go to a hotel you are now staying in Canada.

You could be right, however if you stay in international area you are not crossing the customs control. Then, you are not under this circumstances of getting checked. If you decide to cross the customs check with the money because you need to go to the hotel, this is the passenger's problem and responsibilities.
I have taken into consideration the exchange rate and said he was to declare it. I just would like to understand the overall story as he was normally not supposed to crosse border.
