Hi JENNYSEC,
Could you explain why not mattresses? I am planning to move next month. I was thinking to bring my whole bedroom set.

As my knowledge Canada don't allow mattresses from out side of country but I am not sure so you can get more information from appropriate sources.

Matteress may bring disease infection and it was queen's will to not to bring any soil of any other country on Canadian soil.

Hi Jennysec, You said that we need to bring:

Driving license certified record

, I check service alberta's website and they don't say anything about our driving record, however, they mention about: "The driver must provide proof of their date first licensed." Are you referring to this requirement? Thx!

Hi All,
Jennysec mentioned about form B4 and B4A, we are planning to ship a few boxes of our stuff through UPS (is this the cheapest?) is this considered goods accomplished and goods to follows??

 

[nick_s]

Hi all,
I'm quite surprised that we need to declare jewelries. What considered jewelries? My wife has 3 bracelets, 1 necklace, and a few earings, does this mean we have to take a picture of these things?

Also, as I mentioned in my previous question, we are planning to ship just a few boxes through UPS, containing clothes and very few kitchen supplies. Is this considered goods to follow? And what about goods accomplished? Do we need to list everything on our luggage which contain mostly cloths along with very few jewelries?

Thx all!

Hi,

I am going on student visa.

How detailed the item list should be? I am packing all my stuff in US and going to drive rental car.

Apart from furniture and electronics...what all things we need to declare? ex: cosmetics, pantry items???

Thanks.

Hi nick_s
If possible it is advisable to get certified driving record form USA. When I was been to service Canada they asked mine for getting Canadian driving license. These records also helpful to get auto-insurance othervice insurance companies consider you new driver and you won’t believe how high premium for new driver here in compare of USA.

If you planning to ship some goods by ups or any means of transportation it must be mention in B4A(goods to follows). Must include all of jewelries in formB4 and two copies of photo of each. They don’t asked mine at port of entry but you can read in this forum so many friends where asked so don’t take chance.

Hi JENNYSEC,
Does the driving record has to be from day one of your driving license. I am in US for 16 years. I had licenses from different states. Do I need to get record from each state. Or can I just show last 4 to 5 years.

Try to get driving records from as much states as you can.I lived in IL only and for 4 years so I dont have any idea.May some one from this forum can help you.i think 4 to 5 years is enough.
