"Goods to Follow" for inland applicants?

[Love_Young]

So my question is what do inland applicant's need to do to be able bring goods from home duty free when they become a PR?
Now I do know of the B4 and the B4A form. It wouldn't be really a problem to bring that to the local CIC when it is my time to land but how would you list the goods or serial numbers of things if you haven't even been home in 2 years? I do know that I have things from home that I will need to bring but there is no way I am going to remember it all let alone know the serial number of the things of home until I get back there. How would you go about this then?

If anyone has experience with this I would be grateful to learn more about it especially so more inland applicant's will also know what to do. There are not many threads to help about this particular situation. So how do we go about addressing this issue?

Looking forward to your help and responses. Thanks!

Also, do I need to complete a B4 of the items I already brought in from home to Canada to the landing interview?
Things like my computer, phone, camera, etc.

Ugh...this is just so confusing so excuse me if I ask any silly questions but I am just trying to get a grasp of it all.

Any senior members that could offer some help here?
I know I am not landing soon but I would like to know what to do before that time does come.

Hi,
You don't have to prepare a B4 form for those items you already brought to Canada.
For those items you are planning to bring later, prepare the B4 forms and after your landing go to your nearest (Local) Revenue Canada Customs office and get it stamped. If you have difficulty in getting serial nos of those equipments, just provide what ever description you have. It would be better if you could talk to an agent at your local Customs office about this matter.

Yeah wilson but my problem is that I don't remember everything that I am bringing. I have been away from 2 years and can barely remember anything from home but I do know that there are things home I will want here. So how am I supposed to list those things without knowing all I am bringing back? Plus, I plan on flying back home after getting PR to bring things back with me. What would I do in this particular situation? I am hoping it is possible to do something when you're in this situation at least. Thank you very much for your thoughtful response. I appreciate it.
