To enter Canada, you will need to present the following:

* A Canadian immigrant visa (if applicable) and Confirmation of Permanent Residence for each family member traveling with you
* A valid passport or other travel document for each family member traveling with you
* Two (2) copies of a detailed list of all the personal or household items you are bringing with you
* Two (2) copies of a list of items that are arriving later and their money value

He's already a resident inside Canada, although not a PR. It's very unlikely that the newcomer exemptions will apply. Look at his previous posts.. Been in Canada for multiple years.

I usually don't have the time to dig through a person's previous posts, just to get the whole story, but...since you added more information, I would agree.

However, anything that he owns that is outside of Canada can still be added to a B4 Goods to Follow form, right?

He is considered a resident. When he first arrived he should of had a "goods to follow" list. He cannot keep adding to the list every time he leaves the Country.
If he is becoming a Landed Immigrant then he has some homework to do. I cannot post a link but go to CBSA publications forms b4

Probably not. He can try but I suspect that they will reject the B4 on the basis of not fulfilling the exemption criteria. I've already had "fun" with CBSA over B4 submission as a "settler". They transferred all my belongings to my wife's B4 as she could claim "returning resident" status.
