Hello everyone and Mr Qarax
We landed to canada last year in January and after 6months we shifted back to Dubai as we didnt get job in Canada. For your info when we landed for the first time we declared fund and goods follow list. We got our Sin card,Pr card,health card and we are getting child tax benefit also.

Now we are going back to Canada forever so we have some below queries, pls reply us ASAP


1) how much money we can carry with us?

2) can we bring back all household stuff, electronic items, furniture without paying any tax?

3) do I have to pay any tax on getting income in Dubai?

please reply ASAP.

thank you

You can carry any amount but it will be taxed.

Dubai electronic items are useless in Canada, Dubai uses 220V , Canada 120V
other used items wony be taxed.

Your 3rd Q is unclear.

3.) Will he have to declare his income earned in Dubai?

1) how much money we can carry with us?
>>> any amount which you want, cause you have declared POF and no need to declare again and again

2) can we bring back all household stuff, electronic items, furniture without paying any tax?
>>> If you have declared in the list of good to follow / accompanying good you can bring without paying custom duty, otherwise you will pay.

3) do I have to pay any tax on getting income in Dubai?

>>> It is your wish, as per law you have to, but most people do not do it. Nothing much CRA can do about it, as it can not verify it.

>> Claiming CTB when you and kid(s) being not present in Canada is illegal and can be very very dangerous. If CRA gets hint of it, when you file your tax returns, it will issue you notice to redeposit the amount back with CRA and you can be also in more trouble .

Thank you all for the reply soon.

I would like to inform you that when we landed to Canada first time was our final landing. That time we don't think to go back to Dubai. But we did not find job and meantime I got one year contractual job in dubai so we went to Dubai. Now my contract is getting over and planning to go back to Canada. The household, electronic items what we brought to Canada first time, the same items we brought back to Dubai and now those items we want to bring back to Canada so want to know whether theses items are taxable or not?

Why do you think 220 V items will be useful in Canada which uses 120V?

look used items are not taxable.
