Hi fellow Lancastrian!

Sorry to drag this out - just got back from final tour in the 'Stan!

Although I bought a house in Canada and have dual-citizenship, I have never lived there. So ..... Our move over in Jan next year will be classified as a first move, correct?

We have computers, bikes, furniture, loads of musical equipment etc - We came over a couple ofyears ago and my wife 'landed', and the immigration guy at Toronto did not want to see a 'goods to follow' list. This will not be a problem, will it?

See ya mate!
Jim

Only if any ONE item is worth more than $10,000.
Im assuming your wife came over as a PR and if no GTF was presented then that avenue is closed.
In your case having dual citizenship Im betting you wont be treated as a settler unless you have had COPR forms issued to you.
Chances are you would be treated as a former resident and thats where the 10 grand limit comes into play. Perhaps one disadvantage of having dual citizenship and never having lived here.
You could always ask to be treated as a settler as the memo doesnt specify citizenship just the following

Who are Considered Settlers?
1. For the purpose of tariff item No. 9807.00.00 of the Schedule to the Customs Tariff, settlers mean all individuals who enter Canada with the intention of establishing for the first time a residence for a period of not less than 12 months.

So if they treated you as a settler then no $10,000 limit.
