hi,

HM

in addition to my earlier question,

form B4 - for goods acco. list and goods follow list -use separate form B4 OR all the goods list out on only one form B4(total value of goods acco. + follow) in 8 catgories.

and Are they also check our Excel Sheet list ? where each & every itmes written like jeans-1 no. shirt-1 no like that or Jeans-5 nos. treditional dress-4 nos. , sweet & namkeen-2 Pkt etc

Please reply asap? And also share if u know how much custom duty will they charged on goods like kitchen items, foods etc.

Hi, dipashah,
The B4 form / list of good to follow is to facilitate the new landing immigrate to bring things without paying the custom duty, tax, penalty etc.. If you don't have goods to follow list at the time of landing (stamped by CBSA) and Later when you will bring the goods, will be considered for custom duty.
If you know what type or kinds things you would like to bring list them all in B4 and get stamp at landing time, even if you are not bringing no harm. (But if bring and not listed will have to pay custom duty accordingly)

Hope that helps,

hmisabpk

Hi, dipashah,
Please except my apology for late reply (I was not able to visit the forum for couple of days)
1. They are not going to check each and every thing on excel sheet ( in fact no need to have any separate excel sheet, only B4 form is required) all house dresses together in one line and value that's it no details and number of pieces separately required.
2. There are no charges, custom duty, and tax on any goods you are bringing with you at the time of landing or bringing later. (including kitchen items, foods etc.. if you have mentioned in your B4 form and stamped by custom at POE)
Hope that helps,

Hi, anshuman,
Best months to land in Canada are May, June, July, August, September and October.
Choosing the province or city depends on your profession, available jobs, wages and other factors like weather, living expenses etc... in my opinion (as many other senior members also mentioned in deferent threads) you can select among these top 10 largest cities of Canada (population)


Name Population Latitude/Longitude

1. Toronto, Ontario 4,612,191 43.7 / -79.416

2. Montréal, Quebec 3,268,513 45.509 / -73.588

3. Vancouver, British Columbia 1,837,969 49.25 / -123.119

4. Calgary, Alberta 1,019,942 51.05 / -114.085

5. Ottawa, Ontario 812,129 45.411 / -75.698

6. Edmonton, Alberta 712,391 53.55 / -113.469

7. Mississauga, Ontario 668,549 43.579 / -79.658 (part of GTA- Great Toronto Area)

8. North York, Ontario 636,000 43.767 / -79.416 (part of GTA- Great Toronto Area)

9. Winnipeg, Manitoba 632,063 49.884 / -97.147

Hi, zero,
In my opinion we shouldn't bring furniture from home country it cost a lot $$$ in fact furniture is available here on very reasonable price on 6 month to 18 month with no payment and 0% interest plan. ( http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/home.aspx http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/home.aspx http://www.beso.com/furniture/search?rf=gbn )

If you haven't yet cargos your furniture, than consider leaving there, if already sent than also don't worry, you have to pay very little (most probably it will be free as you are bringing domestic, non-commercial used items for personal use)
I hope you will be waived if you can approach CBSA and explain them your situation.
It will be helpful if you can talk to custom officer at airport and get approval on your B4 form may they will consider stamping and allowing you to take your cargo without tax, custom and duty. You may need to write the explanation letter explaining them that you have missed to get stamped your B4 at the first landing time. I hope it will work.
Otherwise check the website for custom details:

Hi hmisabpk,

Thanks a lot for your hopeful information. I am bring my used ( expensive) things because if I am going to sell here in EU, I will get nothing. Therfore I make plan to carry it with 4000$ by cargo insted of used those money to buy from Canada at the begning.
Another point is I can not show my goods to follow ( B4) now in the immigartion because I have alreday spent 3 1/2 years outside in Canada. My PR card valid is until 2013. So if I tell them I am now moveing permaently, they will revoke my PR. But I will follow your advice.
Thanks a lot.
Reg.

I brought most of my furniture from China because the ones I saw in Ikea, Brick and other furniture store in Canada were of less quality and/or more expensive than to have old furniture to relocated to Canada.

It will be helpful if you can talk to custom officer at airport and get approval on your B4 form may they will consider stamping and allowing you to take your cargo without tax, custom and duty.

Sometimes the custom officer at airport is not helpful. You may want to try their hotlines or visit a local CBSA office. You don't need to write them a letter that you missed to get stamped for B4 at first landing. All you need is to make a phone call.

Hope that helps,

So if I tell them I am now moveing permaently, they will revoke my PR. But I will follow your advice. Even so, you can still try to be considered as new resident of Canada or returning resident. When arrive at the airport, just explain your situation to CBSA officer and submit your B4 form. If you are a returning resident, you can bring up to $10,000 value of goods customs and duty free. Since you are only bringing $4000 worth of personal belongings to Canada, regardless you are new resident or returning resident, I don't think you would need to pay anything to CBSA for bringing them (other them inspection fee if requires). Good luck.
Thanks a lot.

No, there's chance that those will be scrutinized.
