I was hoping someone could clarify a few things for me. I've done a good amount of research on the subject but still confused as to the process. My wife and I are living the US and will be moving to Canada in the next 6 months. We want to "land" so I could receive my PR card (we can have it mailed to my in-laws house) even though we will not be moving until summer. So a few questions
1. Do we list our car on the B4 form? I understand there are paperwork needed to be completed once we officially import the car, but if we are just "flagpoling" at the Canadian border, will listing the car on the B4 be sufficient until we officially come back to permanently move with the car?
2. When we arrive at the border, should we state our intention of not permanently moving to Canada just yet? Or should we just just not say anything about going back to the US?
3. If in the next 6 months we accumulate anything else (get a new car, new furniture, etc) is there an addendum to the B4 or will we be taxed on anything else we acquire after we file the B4 even though we haven't officially moved.
4. How about listing a hunting rifle on the B4 form? I understand there is a bunch of licensing procedures to do including getting a temporary 60 day license at the border while we apply for a license for the hunting rifle, but for the purposes of landing simply listing the rifle on the B4 should be alright, correct? (assuming of course the rifle will not be with us for the landing process)
Thank you for the help! Getting the PR card is very important for me to look for work which is why we want to "land" before we actually move (as well as to expedite Citizenship timeline, etc.
