Suddenly my camera says “Card cannot be accessed. Reinsert/change the card or format card with camera”. I have canon EOS 600D. Help me
If trying other cards has not worked (as indicated in comments), then the problem is not the card, it's the camera. You will need to get it repaired or at very least disassembled and cleaned by a specialist.

We had this happen to our 6D and it was the circuit board. Sent to Canon for repair and $400 - $600 later it came back working. I believe on this occasion they should have ate the cost, but it wasn't my camera and I didn't handle the return.
Here are some things we checked before sending in for repair:
Check that the card is formatted properly (WARNING!)
Check that the card isn't damaged or in locked mode
Check another card
Make sure the card is compatible with your camera
Cameras and cards are not all created equal. Some cameras can not use cards if they are 'too good' for your camera, and some cameras can not read or see cards that are 'too basic' for your camera bus.
Here are some basic guidelines for choosing a card that matches your camera:
(I will convert this to static content soon and set a reference, can't right now)
Check that you are using a Canon battery
Power down the camera, pull the battery
Check the card contacts and clean them
Call Canon Tech Support, Send for Repair
Hope you get good luck and it is simple. Last note. Check the video record after you think it is fixed. Even after we got ours working temporarily we noticed it would have a write error in a short amount of time while recording video.

It might be the card, it might be the camera. Check for dirty contacts on both. If that doesn't help, try the card in a card reader attached to a computer, try a different card in the camera. Now you know where the problem lies, yes? If it's the card (and the pictures on it matter) there is free software that MIGHT be able to retrieve them.

I was dealing with the exact same problem. I took a Q-Tip and wiped the contacts off on the card. Worked like a champ!! The camera would read other cards and my computer would read the one the camera didn't like. So give it a try. Seems the camera may be a little more sensitive to the condition of the contacts. Good Luck!
