Why bother? Tv's are cheap here, why spend money on shipping for something you get here and will work..

If your voltage are 220V, then it probably does not work in Canada. Canada is using 110V. You probably need to bring or buy a converter in order for the TVs to work in Canada.

Most new TV's (including Plasma and LEDs) are dual voltage and multi-system so they should work. you can check on your own TV to see if this is the case.

If they are dual voltage, then they are most likely new enough to be multi-system, so you should be fine. Bring the TV's over and enjoy!

What a waste of time, energy and money.

When I move from different apartments in Canada I usually sell half of the stuff and buy new. Just not worth the hassle.

I can only imagine the difficulty from bringing a TV set overseas.

Unless....

You have everything already arranged to ship by container then an extra TV would not be a big expense.

That is nonsense. I know of many people who have brought TV's over from Dubai, KSA and other Middle Eastern countries and they work fine. At most, you need an adapter to change the 3 pin plugs to 2 pin.

If you have concerns, google the model number of your TV and it will tell you what systems it supports.

I am 100% sure that people have brought TV's from that region and they have worked perfectly. But, for your peace of mind, I would Google the exact model numbers and read the specs in the manuals to verify that the TV's support all major systems (NTSC, PAL, etc.).
