Re: telus or Shaw

Re: goods to follow...6 months after landing?

You have to show the list when you land, it is then stamped so nothing can be added to it later, then when you get your goods delivered to the port etc, you take the list to CBSA for them to clear it.

You could in theory, bring things in bit by bit over a period of time, with the the Border services...

Hi, regarding photos you don't need to bring any, they use the photos your sent with your passport request to make the PR cards.
