1. The B4 is for listing goods - not funds.
2. U can bring-in as much amount* as u desire after landing -till time infinite, no problem.

*There's no duties/levies/taxes. But, it'll be automatically reflected to Fintrac by the banks - whether wired, cash/draft deposited. End of the yr, when u file-in your Tax Returns - u'd need to report the funds as overseas income. And the interest component it earned @ bank is taxable for Capital Gains.

Dear Qorax,

First, many thanks for posting much-needed useful info. "Qorax indexed" has become our daily read as my wife and I make efforts to move to Canada. By grace of God we have our PR visas and are planning to move to Vancouver (I know, not recommended but...) around the end of next month.

We have some qs relating to finance / taxes and hope you can help us here. We are just looking for off-hand advice and know that we should consul a Tax Professional, so won't hold yourself (or anyone else here) for replying with useful info.

- Can we leave some funds in our banks here in India. i.e., continue our savings bank a/c here and transfer the funds, say yearly, later on? Of course we would be bringing some funds to Canada upon landing.
- We have real property in India that is earning some rent that we don't want to sell now, but may sell 8-9 years down the road. Is it ok to do so? How / what would we have to declare when filing taxes?
- From your above post "u'd need to report the funds as overseas income". To understand correctly, any money brought into Canada upon landing is considered "overseas income" and is taxed at the end of the year as "income"?
- Can our parents give us monies later on in India and can we transfer the same to Canada? Would this attract any taxes in Canada?

Again, just looking for off-hand advice. Any help greatly appreciated.
 
Dear Quorax

I am flying on 18th May this year to Ottawa, My wife has already packed all the ornaments (not gold, only imitations) in small plastic pots. I didn't take picture of those imitations but we are planning to take our gold ornaments in near future and that's why I took picture of that jeweleries. Now my question is should we must have to take pictures of those imitations while listing those in form b4 ? or imitation ornaments (as they are very less valued) are not mandatory for taking pictures.
 
I have two questions please

1. Does B4 act like Accompanying list and as goods to follow list ? so i need to make like 4 copies , 2 each ?

2. why do i need to fill an accompanying list , i will be landing for short period of time around 2 weeks , and i will just have my personal belongings such as my cell phone, camera , laptop and so does my wife , do i need to fill in an accompanying list ?

Thanks
 
Dear Qorax & Seniors,

In June, i'm plannig to pay my second visit to Canada and thus would be carrying my B4A form (in original) with me.
Now my question is :

1). I had mentioned many things in my B4A, only half of those things/items i am actually going to bring with me in this second visit of mine. Is this ok.

2). In this second visit, if we have any jewellery, do we need to follow the same procedure as we did in the first round, or as it's value mentioned in the B4A form, we dont need to be that much strict on it. Kindly advise.

3). Lastly and very important, on our first visit at the sirport, the procedure steps were as follows (1).Passport Control (b).Immigration (c). Baggage and then (d). Customs
So in this second visit, would the steps remian the same. I dont see any need to revisit "Immigration" step again. And most importantly, as we now have the PR card with us, should be directly show to the officer and skip the Customs area and come out OR do we still need to properly go to the Customs area and show our bagagge and the B4A form of last visit.

Kindly advise

Thanks in advance !!

1) B4 is the combination of accompany list and goods to follow list. Therefore, make 2 copies.
2) You might not have to fill out the accompanying list if you are only carrying those items.
