Good one there -- gave me a serious LOL as intended !
@ ana_ana
On a serious note the CBSA import exemptions for PRs [taken as 'visitor's] are as below. Remember, this has nothing to do with our B4, which is for bringing-in "settler's used goods" w/out duty:
v
Part B Visitors to Canada
The following duty-free allowances apply to each visitor entering into Canada:
■ Gifts (excludes alcohol and tobacco) valued at no more than CAN$60 each.
■ 1.5L of wine, or 1.14L of liquor, or 24 x 355 ml cans or bottles (8.5 L) of beer or ale.
■ 200 cigarettes, 200 tobacco sticks, 50 cigars or cigarillos and 200 grams of manufactured tobacco.
This is for 'returning residents' - not for 'landing' as a newcomer.
v
Part C Residents of Canada
Each resident returning to Canada is entitled to one of the following personal exemptions based on his/her time absent from Canada (include all goods and/or gifts purchased or received abroad):
■ 24 hours: CAN$50 -Not claimable if goods exceed $50. Alcohol and tobacco cannot be claimed.
■ 48 hours: CAN$400 -This includes alcohol and tobacco (see table below).
■ 7 days: CAN$750 -This includes alcohol and tobacco (see table below).
