Will be landing in January via driving a uhaul across the border. I can just show up right? I don’t need to schedule anything? Thanks in advance.

You can just show up. No appointment.

Might be a good idea to call the POE where you plan to enter just to make sure they offer 24 hour service for COPR activation/Landing process.

You will also need to have a completed BSF186 form listing everything that you are bringing with you to import into Canada. You can also provide a Goods to Follow list for any items that you will be bringing at a later date.

Good idea thank you! I plan on crossing during “normal” hours but it wouldn’t hurt to call. I’m aware of the list! I have been compiling it for a little while so I can add stuff as I think of it or as I buy new stuff.

Be careful. Buying new items just before moving to Canada could be an issue. Your `goods' list should be things that you've been using already.

`When you move to Canada from another country, you may bring your personal and household goods with you without paying duty. You’ll have to pay duty on any item you bring that hasn’t been used.'

Very glad I made this post. Did not know about the used thing. Guess I’ll go ahead and try them out before I move!
