i landed in toronto on 5 june at pearsons airport and i prepared the b4 list as per the instructions of Captain Qorax. when i landed and showed the list to customs officer she was so happy to see how nicely we prepared the list . everything is photographed and itemized with pricing. she even showed to her fellow officers and her boss. she said if all the people take little pain and make the list same way as we did there job will be easier.

anyway big cheers for captain qorax for help and guidance
Congrats Bro!
See u sometimes around...

If I were in your shoes, I would phone CBSA to explain what happened and find a local office to deliver the form.

There's a Customs window - just outside Terminal 2 [YYZ] -- u can go there to get the B4 stamped. As I understand u have 72 hrs to do that... this leverage is provided for cases who did not make the 'proper' forms/format or couldn't fetch the Jewellery pics.

Go there now, or as Steaky correctly suggested -- try your luck by feigning ignorance -- a gentleman BSO might just accept it; and u have your lucky day.

Hi Qorax
Just a quick question. I just noticed that while completing form B4 (to follow), I made a typo and wrote the value of one item wrongly (I forgot one zero!). Is that a problem at all? How strict are values on the form? On initial landing the officer didn't even bother to look at them!

Thanks

Generally speaking - that shouldn't be a cause to worry.

Hello everyone.
So just a quick brief - I am doing a spousal immigration for my husband. I have shipped my container, and am in the process of filling up my B4 - thanks for all the tips Qorax!!! appreciate it.

I have a question:
Can my husband list goods accompanying or to follow separately for himself when he is arriving later this year (hope he gets his papers quickly!) ?
I am carrying a list and will take my jewellery etc with me.
I want to know if my husband can do a separate list.......as we may want to ship more stuff later on.

Please advise.

I was'nt sure if we were allowed to make separate shipments as it is a spousal immigration?
thanks,
Sudha

Oh our VO is Abu Dhabi - so hope to get processed quickly.......... :D
