There are no maximum duty-free amount for first time settlers to Canada.
While that's true for most items, alcohol is one of the exceptions.

I plan to bring my tequila collection to Toronto. Does anyone have any experience with importing more than the maximum duty-free amount?

I've received my PPR, but haven't yet received my COPR. I'm getting ready to fill out my B4 and am wondering how exhaustive my list should be. For my clothes, do I just write "clothes" and then "no value"? Or should I write down every article of clothing I own and an estimate of how much they would cost for resale? m[/quote]
For clothes, just estimate the value if you were to replace the goods today - say from a garage sale or something. You can group it all together to make your life easier if you're bringing it all in at once. Don't group it all together if you are bringing it in in different trips (group it by trip/shipment) or if the value is very large, then split it up into reasonable components.
