Partly because the OP went from saying this:canuck_in_uk said:I don't know why people seem to think it will affect your PR landing. It will have ZERO effect, so don't even worry about that. And I am speaking from personal experience here, as my partner and I shipped a box prior to returning to Canada.
The only issue will be possible taxes/duties.
"We are shipping our stuff within the next week and then going traveling for a month, so our goods will definitely land before us."
To saying this...several posts later:
"We are literally "shipping" 2 boxes (both about 50 pounds)."
THAT'S why.
