Hi inlanders and forum experts,

I have question regarding landing interview.
If you land in a CIC office in Canada can you still have a "goods to follow" list? After the permanent residency is granted we want to move some of our personal stuff from our home country to Canada. Is it possible?
thank you!

Yes, you can. I created my list after my landing interview then just drove to the border to have CBSA stamp it and what not. (I live in a border town) If you do not live in a border town that makes it easy, then you can also just take your B4 (goods to follow) with you to your landing interview and ask about it. I believe they can stamp it for you which will allow you to bring goods into the country like any other new settler.

thank you Alurra!
we will bring the B4 to the landing interview (probably 10 more months :'( ) at the CIC office and see what they say. We are not too far from the border if we need to drive there.

Can you just go back to the home country, then when returning to Canada (for the first time as a PR), bring accompanying goods and the filled out B4 form and have it all dealt with on that initial new PR entry? Rather than driving to a border to get a form pre-stamped? Does that make sense? I thought I read about some people doing this successfully.

I had previously read that people that tried to have CIC stamp it while landing were told CBSA deals with that.

sounds reasonable but I dont know whether this is within the rules or not.

Do you have to cross border first and then get the goods to follow list stamped at the entry CBSA checkpoint or you can visit the CBSA office without leaving the country?
