Medicines at canada airport

[sridas]

Hi, I am landing in april in Montreal with family. I am bringing some stocks of medicines for us like paracetamol , vitamins, some skin cream , bandage, etc. I wanted to know if i have a limited quantity to bring them . Are the custom officers or CBSA will react about the quantities i am bringing in. as we know we have to be self medicated until three months or till we get our health insurance or doctors etc.so plz any help will be highly appreciated.

Why do u want to bring-in general non-prescription meds? They aren't of much cost here anyway. If it were certain prescription drugs, that'd be another matter.

BTW, the meds u mentioned r of no consequence at bringing thru the border.

Doesn't make much sense. everything you describe is not that expensive in Canada. Why would you want to attract unnecessary attention?

FWIW
When flying with Prescription drugs I always keep them in the original boxes, and carry a copy of the original prescription.

Hi,

Is there any restriction of carrying some Homeopathy/Biochemic medicine for personal use.
