How many cigarettes on the first landing?

[ana_ana]

Do you know how many cigarrettes am I allowed to carry on the first landing? And wine?

[sttn]

1800 Cigarettes
15 cases of wines
30KG Cocaine
15KG Heroine
350KG Canabis are allowed by CBSA If you like more you can swallow or conseal in your bags too.

Hmm, I think not


I understand that you are allowed to import only one of the following amounts of alcoholic beverages free of duty and taxes:

1.5 litres (53 imperial ounces) of wine; or
a total of 1.14 litres (40 ounces) of alcoholic beverages; or
up to 8.5 litres of beer or ale.

And to your question - 200 cigarettes.

Be aware, duty free allowances are limited when returning as a PR.

@ ana_ana

On a serious note the CBSA import exemptions for PRs [taken as 'visitor's] are as below. Remember, this has nothing to do with our B4, which is for bringing-in "settler's used goods" w/out duty:
v
Part B – Visitors to Canada
The following duty-free allowances apply to each visitor entering into Canada:
■ Gifts (excludes alcohol and tobacco) valued at no more than CAN$60 each.
■ 1.5L of wine, or 1.14L of liquor, or 24 x 355 ml cans or bottles (8.5 L) of beer or ale.
■ 200 cigarettes, 200 tobacco sticks, 50 cigars or cigarillos and 200 grams of manufactured tobacco.

This is for 'returning residents' - not for 'landing' as a newcomer.
v
Part C – Residents of Canada
Each resident returning to Canada is entitled to one of the following personal exemptions based on his/her time absent from Canada (include all goods and/or gifts purchased or received abroad):
■ 24 hours: CAN$50   -Not claimable if goods exceed $50. Alcohol and tobacco cannot be claimed.
■ 48 hours: CAN$400  -This includes alcohol and tobacco (see table below).
■ 7 days:   CAN$750  -This includes alcohol and tobacco (see table below).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alcohol and tobacco exemption table
■ 1.5 L of wine or 1.14 L of liquor or 24 x 355 ml cans or bottles (8.5L) of beer or ale. (You must be of legal age in the province of importation)

There are enough tobacco and liquor stores in Canada! Why people bother so much about these on their first entry?

High taxes

High taxes 

If they cannot afford tax system in Canada why they bother to come to Canada?

[sttn]

Besides if somebody is so addicted to tobacco and liquor what they can bring with them at the first entry would not last for their entire stay in Canada.
