Hi all Seniors members,

My family and I are planning to move to Toronto, Ontario in the summer. We did our first landing in the summer of 2012. We got our PR/SIN cards in 2012.

1)I am planning to send in our personal belongings by air to Toronto. I checked with the cargo companies in my country to find out the cost involved.

Can you guys provide me a website who could get me exact information on the costs involved in Toronto Seaport while clearing personal belongings.

My cargo will be approx 300 kg.

What do they charge as:

a) Terminal receiving charges
b) Port Security charges
c) Handling fee
d) Dock loading fee
e) Any Tax for used personal belongings?
f) Any Tax for unused personal belongings?
g) Customs duty for used personal belongings?
h) Customs duty for unused personal belongings?
i) How long the cargo could be in Toronto port before levying demurrage charges? (Or within how many days the cargo should be cleared)
j) Any other cost involved in clearing from port


2)Does newly landed immigrant(and his family) has to pay taxes on settlement funds they brought to the country after the first landing,but didn't stay in Canada?(Neither the PA and not any family member)and does one has to pay taxes since his first landing?(As we didn't pay any tax and it would be 3 years this summer since our first landing)

3)As we would be 2 Adults and 3 kids-12yo.,11yo. and 5 yo. so will have 10 Trolley bags(Each of 23 kgs)and 3 Hand carries(9 kg each).I intend to catch a cab from YYZ and travel to the Hotel in the North York area?What is the best way to get there?Should I have to grab 2 large taxis for all my bags and 5 of us?Any Contact no.?

Regards,
