Landing Procedure Information Required

[waseem_sandhu]

Hello Folks,

Hope that everybody will be fine and doing great. I need your suggestions on following:

1) Which Documents I need to take with me for Landing Procedure (apart from Visa + COPR) ?
2) Do I need to make & print the list of things which i would be carrying ?
3) Is it better to fill-in Forms like B4 & B4A before landing (although I won't be importing anything from my home country and the things which i will be taking with me would be household stuff and gifts) ?

Your suggestions / advises would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

My husband landed on Christmas day and he had his passport, visa, COPR, and B4 form with him. He was not asked for additional documents. You do not need to complete the B4A form if you are not shipping any goods to follow.

Good luck and welcome to Canada!!!

The B4a form is the continuation form for a B4, (one B4 + one or more B4As). It's not specific to "goods to follow".

From the CIC website:
