Landing while living in Canada

[TracyCa64]

Hello,
Sorry, but I have lots of questions. Shocked
I posted this on the settlement issues board also. Just hoping to get as many questions answered as possible.

When I land I will flagpole at the Rainbow Bridge border crossing. I have already been living in Canada for the past 2 years. Do I have to declare anything that I originally brought with me to Canada? When I land I won't have any personal belongings with me, is that okay? Will that be questioned at all?

I will have boxes shipped at a later time so I know that I need to complete the B4 form. If my items are all just house items (personal belongings) do I still need to place a value on each box or item? I have a list of what is in each box and I have the boxes numbered and labeled so when they are shipped customs will know.

When I land do I need to show our bank account for proof of funds, I won't have any cash on me.
I am on Implied Status right now because my visitor extension was not approved yet. Do I need to show my receipt that I had applied for the extension or does it not matter since I have PR approval.

I hope someone can help me with my questions. I plan on landing next weekend.

Thanks in advance!!
Tracy

Congrats on getting your COPR!

I landed with a small carry on suitcase and was not questioned about it, they did ask about goods to follow but I only have a handful of things to bring back next time I visit Aus so I never declared any. I also didn't declare things I had already brought with me.

I was never asked about proof of funds, just the usual "do you have more than $10,000 in cash"

I don't think your present status in Canada matters, you have the COPR and will be landing as a PR, after landing you could probably cancel the visitor extension and maybe get a refund?
