What do I need to prepare to immigrate to Canada?

Canada is a traditional immigrant country, and many people immigrate to Canada. So what do you need to prepare to immigrate to Canada? I have compiled relevant information for everyone. Let's have a look.

First, Canadian immigrants move materials

(1) valid certificate

If you are a new immigrant, holding a Canadian maple leaf card or using a work visa to go to Canada, please provide your passport with a photo page and the original domestic customs declaration visa. For customs clearance abroad, you need to bring the original passport and maple leaf card to the customs for questioning and customs clearance.

If you are a Canadian citizen returning to China, you need to prepare a copy of your domestic residence permit, employment permit and passport for customs clearance. After the goods arrive in Hong Kong, they need to bring the original documents to the customs for questioning and clearance.

(2) Project list

Number each individually packaged item, and fill in the Chinese packing list according to the number for customs declaration. For customs clearance abroad, you can fill in the packing list in English or French, or you can use the B4A form provided by Canadian Customs for customs clearance. The name of each item should be clearly written in the list, and the service time should be indicated. Whether the consigned goods are old or new, the value or depreciated value of the goods should be indicated.

(3) ocean bill of lading

The ocean bill of lading is the proof of delivery, the shipper is the name of the moving company, the consignee shows your foreign consignee, and the notified person shows the local agent of the moving company. The name of the bill of lading requires the words personal belongings and personal property to be displayed.

(4) Form B4E Canadian Customs Declaration Form

The customs clearance form for personal belongings required by Canadian Customs to be filled in the destination country can be collected and filled in at the customs of the landing airport, and the list can be stamped by the airport staff; Or pick up and fill in the goods at the local customs clearance after arriving in Hong Kong, but it is not recommended.

Second, the preparations for moving to Canada

Plan your own moving time.

Moving time is to decide when to move. Only when the moving time is determined can the next preparations be arranged. The moving time is influenced by many factors, so the moving date needs to be determined after comprehensive consideration of various factors. Related factors, such as:

(1) Whether the new home in Canada has been decorated and ready to move in, and whether it is ready to move out in China;

(2) When will you have time to move, and whether the moving date conflicts with working hours or important matters;

(3) Calculate how long it will take to organize, which depends on your own actual situation. Many things take one to ten days, as little as half a day;

Understand the cost of moving to Canada

The cost of international transportation is related to the size of the goods to be inspected, the place of departure and the destination. When you call the moving company to ask about the related expenses, you must know how much furniture to check. If you are not sure, you can send someone from the moving company to evaluate it. After you get the accurate data, you can provide the accurate quotation of the moving company, and whether the price is in your heart. Generally speaking, the door-to-door double-clearing service will include all expenses and the price is relatively high.

Choose to make an appointment to move the company.

Choose a regular moving company, and don't look for a moving company that posted small advertisements on the street to avoid being hacked. You can consult 2 ~ 3 companies in advance and choose a moving company with a certain popularity or good reputation.

After determining the international moving company, we will negotiate with the moving company about the moving time, consigned goods, service methods and moving expenses, and then reconfirm the moving time after the two sides reach an agreement. When booking a moving company, you should pay attention to asking whether the other party can provide moving cartons (according to their own needs), whether they are provided free of charge or need to be purchased; Whether to sign a moving contract or not, everyone has to sign a moving contract when moving.

Three. Matters needing attention in handling and packaging

Food containers or decorations used;

(2) Only one room can be installed at a time. Because you will forget what is put in which box, it is best not to mix the items in each room and box them together.

(3) The little things are put in small boxes, and the big ones are enlarged boxes. Heavy things, such as books and porcelain, will be difficult to carry in a big box, so they are packed in a small box;

(4) Mark the name of the article on the outside of the carton. After packaging, please be sure to indicate the name of the item and the room number of the new house outside the box;

(5) There should be no gaps in the package. If there is a gap in the box, the contents in the box will move and cause damage. If there is a gap accidentally, use newspapers, waste clothes or pearl cotton as buffer equipment to fix the items in the box;

(6) Be careful not to pack too much and too full. Too many boxes are easy to deform, which may cause damage to the items in the boxes. In addition, it may collapse due to imbalance when stacking boxes, which is very dangerous;

(7) Valuables should be carefully labeled during handling. It is best to bring your own gold and silver utensils and jewelry coins, and it is best to customize fumigation-free wooden cases for antiques, paintings and calligraphy. The staff of the international moving company will give you advice in this regard.
