My brother and I will be migrating in Canada, and I only have 1 B4A form. Does my brother need a separate form to fill out or can we use the same form by joining our list of belongings that we'll bring to Canada?

B4 is the only form you need for BOTH AG and GTF

Take 2 copies of B4 for AG
Take 2 copies of B4 for GTF

One copy of each Immigration will keep

B4A u use if you run out of space on B4

There is a checkbox on B4 that will differentiate the list from being a AG or GTF

I only have one copy of B4 and B4A, do I have to ask for another set of forms for my brother from the embassy? Or is it fine if he only makes his own list of the belongings beforehand and fill the B4 forms upon landing Canada, at the immigration office?

Dear

You dont have to ask the embassy for extra forms, you can simply download B4 and B4 forms from the CIC and CBSA websites.

Remember B4A is just an extension of B4

You need

Take 2 copies of B4 for AG
Take 2 copies of B4 for GTF

One copy of each Immigration will keep

B4A u use if you run out of space on B4

Instead of B4A you can opt for Excel spreadsheets (as Qorax has explained elsewhere)

Thanks
