Goods to follow list

[J1visa]

Could you please help me?

I will land by air plane next week and then return to the US next day. One month later, I would like to drive my car to and settle down in Canada. What form I should fill for my car? Is it good to follow list or additional list of good (Form B4A)? This is the only one will go with me to Canada. I have a laptop and a cell phone as well but I dont think it is neccessay to declare them as good to folow.

Is there any problem if I land with only a small bag and tell the officer than I will return to the US next day and will drive my car to the US 1 month later with the help of my friend?

Thanks

Goods to Follow.

Note you have to export it from the US and you will need to fax the title to the US Customs office 72 hours in advance. http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/trade/basic_trade/export_docs/motor_vehicle.xml
You will also have to import it into Canada see: www.riv.ca

Thank you very much for your help PMM. Could you please clear me?

For my first trip by air plane, do I have to fax the title and export/import or I just only add my car into Good to Folow list?

It is just listed on the goods to follow list, when you are read to export, then you fax the title.

Thanks PMM.

I just read a very bad news in this topic http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/my-landing-experience-t4869.0.html (at the end of this first post):

"You cannot bring a car into canada if it was purchased within 6 months of the landing date. "

Is it correct? I bought my car in August, and registered it last week. No one noted me about this before.

Does it make sense to include bulky and heavy items in "Goods to follow" list?
The hassle and the freight charges might not make it worthwhile. I have read
new immigrants are asking about bringing their bed and mattresses over to Canada.

Are furniture and kitchen utensils expensive in Canada? How about IKEA
furniture?

Here is what CBSA has to say. There is nothing about 6 months ownership of vehicles.

"(a) The vehicle must have been owned and possessed by the settler, in accordance with the conditions described above, prior to his or her arrival in Canada;
(b) In addition to having owned and taken possession of the vehicle abroad, the settler must have been legally entitled to operate it in the free environment abroad (e.g., have a valid driver’s licence) and have actually driven it on the open roads abroad for some distance, prior to the date on which the settler arrives in Canada. (note that a test drive using dealer licence plates or a drive only on the manufacturer’s or dealer’s premises does not qualify);
(c) The vehicle must have been licensed and insured (temporarily or otherwise), in the name of the settler, for use in the free environment abroad during the period it was used;
(d) Documentary evidence is produced at the time of accounting to substantiate that the above requirements have been met;
(e) All of the remaining requirements of Tariff Item No. 9807.00.00 are complied with; and
(f) The vehicle is eligible for importation into Canada in accordance with Transport Canada’s laws and requirements."
