As a Canadian citizen moving back to Canada are there any forms I am required to complete?

I plan on traveling back and forth the next few weeks as I am getting relocated. Will I have issues bringing in personal items: clothing etc?

What about importing my dog and car?

All I can find there is info once I am in Canada.

I am more concerned with crossing the border with all my stuff and do I need to do anything prior to that time. Anyone have experience and some tips on this?

Basically, make a list of your goods. Bring it with you on your first entry:

> 9. Prior to importation, former residents must prepare a detailed list in duplicate of all goods to be imported that indicates the make, model, serial numbers (where possible) and approximate value of each item. For general household items, a group listing and overall value is sufficient (e.g. kitchen utensils – $000). The list should be divided into two parts showing which items are accompanying the owner at the time of return and which items are to arrive at a later date as "goods to follow." This list must be presented to the border services officer at the first port of entry (POE) when the former resident arrives in Canada, even if no goods are being imported at that time. Instead of a list, Form B4A, Personal Effects Accounting Document (list of goods imported), may be used.

Be sure to declare it when you cross the border. This is what lets you import your goods without all the charges.
