Default Landing at Vancouver - goods to follow?

We are landing tomorrow at Vancouver - YAY

I just had a quick question with regards to landing docs, I think I have it right...

So it is my understanding that we do not need to fill out any paper work in advance for the goods accompanying us and that a CBSA officer will do this for us.

With regards to the goods to follow this is the only form we need to fill in?

We only have 3 things to follow - most importantly our dog, a box of CDs and a couple of handing pictures that would not fit in the cases.

Do I need any other landing forms? I have proof of funds and COPR ready.

Thanks

Also we are not planning to ship these items over any time soon, apart from the dog who is arriving the next day so I assume I do not have to fill in this form -

You should read the settlers part on this web page: http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/noncan-eng.html

You need to ensure your dog is on your goods list otherwise you will be liable for duty.

You need to put any items that are coming over separately on a goods to follow list which will be stamped by the Customs Office, allowing you to import your items later without paying duty. It doesn't matter if you know who the shippers are or not.
