Hi Qorax,

Thank you for this nice informative thread. I have a question regarding the good that accompany.

How about gold bullion? Can it be combined with the jewellery list or am I supposed to list it separately?

Do I need to get the value certified from any jeweler for the jewellery?

Please do let me know. Thanks in advance

Hello All

I have landed in Vancouver this 4th of July and now my goods are ready to be shipped from India to Vancouver. Can anyone please advise me what the process will be. Any personal experiences will also be very welcomed. Due to the economy of the shipment, I am considering sea shipment instead of Air. Is this a good choice?

Any comments on that will be much appreciated

Thanks
Rahul

Hi,

a) Those items r OK to go into ur check-in baggage.
b) Couple of jewelleries on person is OK [though listing them in the GAL is wise].
c) I've no idea on 'travel cards'.
d) Anything & everything that u intend to bring-in whenever, by whosoever, MUST be listed in the GTF. And stamped now [on ur 'landing'].

Dear Mr. Qorax, need some clarification regarding POF to be carried when landing in Canada for first time. As I am going alone and my family will not be accompanying me as they will be sponsored under family class, do I need to carry POF for a family of 4 or just for 1 person. When I recd medicals, CIC had asked for medicals for all family members and also asked to submit POF for family of 4 i.e. $ 20600.

Also I will be taking along my laptop, a watch & a mobile. What will be other formailities.

Expert advice needed.

Hi,

As far as the items that need to be pictured, do designers clothes need to be pictured? If so starting at what price point? I will be importing a car (from US), tv, etc. Is there a rule of thumb to picture items over certain value?

How do I do if I am landing separate from my spouse? I am the main applicant and I will be landing 2 days before.

Thanks ;D

1. Pics r insisted for jewelleries, heirlooms etc. Not required for other items.
2. When u 'land' first -- u should be carrying ur B4, and get it stamped.
3. When the other members of ur family r coming - if they r bringing any of those goods - they should have a 'copy' of that B4.

i will be landing in TWO days, just a quick question;

I got a bunch of cigar lighters including some expensive zippos. May i carry them in my luggage? If yes, do i need to mention them in Accompanying List?
