You need to declare the monetary instruments(i.e. cash bank draft, etc) equal to or greater than CAN$10,000.
The tax year for Canada is Jan 1 - Dec 31. All need to do the tax filing by Mar 31 the following year. I suggest you to appoint a tax planner so that he can clear your queries on foreign assets.

You should keep the wire receipt as supporting doc in case CRA requests to have it as supporting
