I have lived in Canada for 19 months and the majority of my belongings have been bought in Canada, All of my stuff is here and I have No Goods to follow...

What do I need to declare? Anything? Nothing?

What about my shopping I buy in Buffalo? How much can I spend in the USA visiting for only 1 day?

I have a camera that was bought in the UK in 2008, it will be with me when I land, I presume I declare it?

Hey brit, I have also been living in canada as a visitor for the past 8months whilst my PR is being processed. Are you travelling back to UK and then back to canada to land? Or can you stay in Canada the whole time? Will i have to return to england and come back to land?

Does that make sense? Im not sure ???

if you applied inland at vegreville you will land at the local CIC. IF you are bringing stuff into canada you sort that out with CBSA. If you applied outland at CHC london and you decide to flagpole (basically for those who dont know you cross into the US and come back) if you are bringing anything else from uk then you can fill out the goods to follow they will walk you through it at the border its pretty painless from what ive heard. If you already have everything here then there's no need to fill in the goods to follow and you can just tell them that.
