Hey,
I'll be coming from the US and wonder if they have any limitations on the amount of stuff you can bring in. Most stuff here is quite a bit cheaper, even before tax, than in Canada and I'd like to stock up before I make the move. Do they cut you off at some point? I could save many thousands of dollars by buying a new car, refrigerator, washing machine, furniture, etc. before I make the move. Do they limit you or even discriminate based upon how recently before the move you bought your stuff? As I understand it, you've basically got one shot at bringing your booty across the border duty free and the amount that I could save during one big shopping trip before I move could support me for years. I want to know if they'll bust me just because I have a full household's worth of goodies which still have the price tags attached.
Thanks.
