Sure you can bring your laptop, cellphone, all other electronic gadgets so long as they are not in the list of prohibited items to bring into Canada. You will not be taxed on these items because you are only entering as a temporary resident (visitor) and it can be presumed that you will not leave them in Canada when you depart.

Have fun in Canada!

Hi there,

I will be moving in Canada this coming Saturday July 16, 2011 and I am just a little bit worried with my laptop. According to my sister, the airport security will probably check my laptop and look for the sticker that will identify if the Operating System installed on my laptop is License or not. Unfortunately i don't have that sticker on my laptop but there is already an operating installed on it. Do you think it will cause a delay on my part or the airport security will confiscate my laptop due to that?

Please advise.

Thanks,

I've never heard of this happening. I travel a great deal by plane and my laptop (or my netbook) is always with me. My husband does the same. I have never once had anyone verify if there are stickers and/or my OS or other software is licensed. They don't even open it.

But maybe others have heard otherwise...
