I've been informed by a friend that 'goods to follow' must reach Canada within one year of landing. Could someone confirm if this is true ? What if it gets delayed ?

You should contact CBSA for confirmation if you are in this situation, as there are a lot of people here who heard information from others and as it travels through the grape wine, the actual information becomes a bit distorted.

Honestly I have not come across any document that says goods need to be imported within 1 year (does not mean it is not true). From what I know, if you sell any item you imported tax free before 1 year, then you have to pay taxes on it: http://cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/pub/bsf5114-eng.html

Would suggest contacting CBSA for this query.

The car rate is fine, maybe a few dollars overpriced.

Can you share the details of your insurance company (or individual who sold it to you).. What is the deductible on this policy? Why are you paying registration every month? Also do you have any other type of insurance from the same provider.

Please do share all that you can, this information can help many new immigrants.

Regards,
I have the same concerns in mind. Hope someone can clarify these for us ?!

Hi friends,

Could you please help me with the tax rule.

Somebody said that any amount that i carry at the time of landing will go tax free but if i get some amount transferred from india/dubai into my Canadian account later, it will be taxed.

Is it true? How does it work? What is the rate of tax applied?

Regards

Proby

No it is not true. Bringing money into Canada is always tax free.

The only implication here is that you are required to declare all foreign income after becoming a PR and if you are getting money from abroad frequently and declaring zero foreign income, you maybe called for an audit to confirm if you are not secretly earning money outside Canada and lying on your income tax 8)

If you are having money transferred into your Canadian account, then your bank will charge you a fee here.

Regards,
