Yes you can, but nobody recommends carrying LED, LCD and other electrical appliances as these are way too much cheap and sometimes you can have even free. Better carry other important stuffs. You have only 46 kilos per person. Sell these and but new over there. I have families n relatives there and actually no one ever suggested carrying these stuffs, even no curtains, no heavy blackets, no heavy jackets (only 01), no snow boots as these are bit different than we usually use. Better carry dollars and buy from there as appropriate. But you can carry your laptop, mobile, I Pad, DSLR, and use simple 1 dollar voltage converter.

Oh one thing, you browse our earlier posts, we had many discussions on what to take what not to take etc.

thanx a lot for ur suggestions...

While you are arriving first time at Canada you are allowed to bring one container of Household goods e.g furniture,bed etc.you can attached those in a form called goods to follow list(the exact name i am not sure about).I would recommend if you wanna bring ur household furniture such as sofa or bed anything like that you should bring..Cause the cost of those household items are much higher than expected..If u have been settling here and also if you have booked ur house from there, then u should bring those items.Why would you spend so much money at first sight??Cause its tough here for a newcomer to get settled at first couple of months..And also its not an easy job for a newcomer to get a good job at first.for the first couple of months they have to depend upon those money they are bringing along with them.so if you have the option then why would u waste it..Thats totally my personal observation.I didnt bring any stuff of mine with me according to them who are living here..But now I am realizing that i made the mistake..

Well 1st you check your adapter or item description. if it says 100-220 volt you can use it without any hazard. Most of the laptop or chargers are 100-220 volt. so u can easyly use it. otherwise use the converter.
What I can use (my case): laptop, camera chargers, mobile chargers
I need converter for: Hairdryer, ....

I think it will help

Hi, other then the voltage you still need converters only if your items don't have flat plug pin.

GSM phone will work in Canada

As i know, It depends where you are going. I heard No Bangdadeshi phone will work in Albara. They have only monopoly business. but samsung s3/4, iphone I heard that it works. If you have any, bring it with you but do not buy a new one!

Please remember, furniture are different there at Canada. Usually when you shift your house everyone throw things straight away as, labor and shifting is expensive there. You better buy new staff cheaper than ur shifting cost sometimes. Huge furniture are associated with huge labor, and you are to pay 5-6 dollars an hour, so...............Segun khat shipped to Toronto might be a night mare unless you are a millionaire, have your own mansion (Detached or semi-detached house with 12'X15' room size) and got into for 5-6 years. These khats would look very peculiar in a tight 10'X9' room with virtually no space for other stuffs. The regular bed will cost you 120-150 dollars with mattress and after 2-3 years when you shift you through away. You can have pretty dinning chair sets (04) for 100-200 dollars solid timber (Check Kijiji and look for furnitures, there you can find loads of furniture for free pickup only, or for few quids). Even if you do have a furniture for free, you are to hire a pickup van for 60 dollars mate... if you dont have a friend with a free pickup van......decision is now yours mate.

My understanding is we buy stuffs, after we settle. (where we get the permanent jobs, kids school and neighborhood etc). Till that time better keep low and go Sunnati style, straight on the floor on mat n mattress. Salam and regards.
