to your # 4
Since you are planning to move after 6 months, then see how you can use the existing inventory of your groceries by then and do not pile up much

Oil and other liquid stuff is not allowed by law itself
your spices and other raw material can be transported

good day

New to this forum need some confirmation !!!
I have received my COPR and visa pasted on my passport recently. I am stationed in Seattle , WA so want to complete my landing obligations before visa expiry date in February and then eventually move to Canada in December 2014 when my wife's contract in the US expires. I have a couple of questions regarding landing and would really appreciate if they can be addressed.
1. I applied for Ontario but since BC is just 2 hours drive from my home can I complete my landing at BC ? If I can , then can I apply for SIN and medical cards from BC as well ?
2. I am planning to drive on Sunday through the Seattle - Vancouver border. I believe the services Canada offices are closed on Sunday so will not be able to apply for SIN till Monday but my PR obligation will be taken care of even if its a holiday right ?
3. As proof of funds I will be showing my US Bank account statements along with some cash in hand. The amount in my US Bank is enough as mentioned on the immigration website but are the US Bank statements acceptable or will I need some other form ?
4. I will be traveling on my own car but since I would be returning back in a few days and eventually moving in December , I will not be exporting/importing my car in Canada. Should I expect any issue in that regard ?
5. I have a relative living in BC. I will give their address for my PR . Would that create an issue as originally I applied for Ontario ?
6. I will be using the B4 form to show some itmes that I will be bring along but the same form will be refilled and will add the items that I will be bringing along with me when I eventually migrate. The goods that I bring at my first visit and the goods that are to follow should be filled in the same B4 form ( separate copies ) ??
7. Last but not least . I will be staying for a few days and will be returning back with my Uncle's address in BC for PR mailing purpose. Can I legally do this ?
Thank you in advance !!!
