Hi Ruby,
Thanks for sharing the experience of landing in Vancouver as a new immigrant. I just landed today at Vancouver. My experience was largely similar to yours, at least up to the point of signing the COPR. However, after that, nobody asked me for a copy of a list of goods accompanying me, let alone a list of goods follow, even though I had prepared 2 copies of both! The officer who interviewed me and signed my COPR merely asked me to give my declaration card to 'customs'. So I just gave it to the man before the exist of the airport, who was collecting the declaration card. Was I supposed to have gone to a specific 'customs' counter for new immigrants??
For some reason, it did not occur to me to ask about this (list of goods) when I was at the airport. What should I do now, if anything?
Also, contrary to many people's shared stories, nobody was really guiding me through the process. And the officer didn't even say 'congratulations on becoming a PR' (I was totally getting ready to get emotional upon hearing that declaration!) nor 'welcome to Canada'. He just said 'you are all set and have a nice day". Well ...
