OCTOBER 2015 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

[TracyCa64]

No problem ;D. Congratulations on your PR by the way.

Edit: I have a question of my own. If you fill out a B4 goods to follow list does that mean you can ship items duty free too? I always assumed I had to take them across in person later on. What's the cheapest shipper to use? My sister went ahead and packed up all my stuff to get a quote for when the time comes, and she was quoted over $200 just for shipping fees (she didn't say where). This is only from Bellingham, WA to Vancouver, BC. so paying that much seems outrageous.

You don't have to pay duty on your goods to follow as long as you take care of it at your landing. The agent stamps your B4 form and goods list. Also attached is an accounting form that just shows the monetary value of your goods and that you pay zero.

You must not have much stuff if it only cost $200. I would say that isn't too bad. I will be paying over $2000 to ship my stuff. It is coming from California to Ontario, but I have 91 boxes. Lol

You can google "international shipping" and find some companies that way. I am using Navis (Navis.com) to ship my stuff. It will come by truck.

How much do you have? Could you maybe just mail it or use UPS? I don't know if that would be cheaper.

Thanks for the congrats!

Thank you ;D. Well, I've moved so much within the past couple years that I really don't have much stuff unfortunately. I think I have about 3-4 large boxes waiting at my sister's. One box is entirely books. I'm just glad that I don't have to bring everything over personally and that I can ship it, as long as I list everything on the goods to follow form.

Next thing you can expect should be a PPR (passport request). You can follow along in the Manila threads to see where they're at since they seem to go in order. It doesn't seem like they've even started September applicants yet.

Hang in there

Hey October Family!

I landed yesterday!! WOOHOO!!!
I landed at the Rainbow Bridge crossing in Niagara Falls. It went really smooth and I am very happy.

We went over to the US side and stayed there for about an hour. We walked around and checked out the American Falls. Not much to see over there, but it was cool to finally see it. We came back into Canada and told the border officer that I was landing. He asked me a few questions and completed a yellow paper and told me to take that into the CBSA office. I think I waited 30 min before they called my name. The agent actually took a new photo of me for my COPR form. I knew that CIC had changed the size and was never asked to send the new size in. I thought that was pretty cool. She was super nice through the whole process. It can take up to 12 weeks to receive my PR card.

I have goods to follow so I had my form and list all ready to go. I had to go over to a different agent to show him my goods to follow info. He stamped my list and then photocopied it. He attached this accounting form that he got from the Cashier. It basically had the info to show that I won't be paying any duty tax on my items when they get shipped here.
I had two copies of my list of items and the B4 forms, but the agent told me he only needed one set. He actually just photocopied it after he stamped each page. For the value I just put down a garage sale value for each of my boxes. Some boxes had no value so I put zero.
He didn't question anything on my list.

I am so happy for this chapter to be complete. I feel like a real person again. LOL

Thank you to everyone here on the forum who contributed to my journey. I appreciate every bit of advice and all the support and smiles.
I will still be around on the boards to help anyone if I can.

Smiles!!
Tracy

Congratulations! We welcome you with open arms :-D
