Write in the list of accompanying goods and you can bring as much/ many as you want for your comfortable life in Canada. No questions will be asked.

Hi Canadacomplex
Please double check with your travel agent about the printer ,I heard that laser printer cartridges are no longer allowed inflight since the parcels from yemen were discovered in England,apparently stuff were hidden in cartridges for laser printers.
I could be mistaken  but your travel agent should be able to give you clarifications.
Congrats!!!

don't risk bringing pirated CDs when you land, they may not check but there's always a chance that they would.

note also that in Canada, power output is 110volts.

best of luck!

(1 movie worth 1$ so i think it would be pirated)........
so i think its worth it.......

That is not sensible, you come to Canada and you intend to break the law Sad

It may be a remote chance that you get caught with them, but what if ?

You wont think it is worth it then.

Don't don't take pirated stuffs. they are illegal here, as one of the members said, they might be checked anytime. give this duty to someone else who would later send them in parcel to your Canadian address.
Take anything, everything you use and whats legal on Aircrafts.
