Dear Quorax

I am flying on 18th May this year to Ottawa, My wife has already packed all the ornaments (not gold, only imitations) in small plastic pots. I didn't take picture of those imitations but we are planning to take our gold ornaments in near future and that's why I took picture of that jeweleries. Now my question is should we must have to take pictures of those imitations while listing those in form b4 ? or imitation ornaments (as they are very less valued) are not mandatory for taking pictures.

Re: getting spouse to canada

sIN number is given immediately but the SIN card is posted within 10 working days.
PR card takes 2 months to be delivered currently.
Yes you can sponsor your wife, the processing time depends on her visa office. See Cic website for family sponsorship class.

Yes you write categories in B4 and give details in excel, e.g.
In B4 : "Medicines - 10 CAD"
In excel:
"Medicines:
1.analgin 5 CAD
2.nurofen 5 CAD"
You tick on B4 the option "other" and attach your excel sheets. The customs officer will stamp all papers.
List all medicines on excel to avoid questions because there are reestrictions on medicines.

B4A is not necessary if you have excel sheets. It is used to list goods.

Dear friend

Can you guide me regarding the personal assets declaration Vs Canadian benefits?

Is it true that if we don’t disclose the amount of our bank statement, jewelries, other wealth in the form (things to borrow latter) then whenever we bring them Canada, it'll be charged by tax rules.

On the other hand if we disclose our wealth (bring them first time or in list them in things to borrow) then we’ll be unable to get Canadian social benefits/relaxation (student loan, low wages benefits, etc..)

Secondly, if we want to sponsor parents again we need to have strong wealth in Canada.

How to balance this ratio?

Your guidance is really helpful.

Thanking you in advance.
