Drugs and customs clearance held by students studying in Canada

I didn't have medical insurance for the first three months of coming to Canada. Moreover, even after getting the medical card for three months, the Canadian government is not responsible for the cost of medicine and dispensing except hospitalization. Every time I see a doctor, the doctor writes the beneficiary. I have to go to the pharmacy to get a prescription. The cost of each prescription is 10- 12 Canadian dollars.

If it is a prescription drug, especially an anti-inflammatory drug, a doctor must buy it just now. So you must bring enough commonly used drugs, especially commonly used anti-inflammatory drugs. If you believe in Chinese medicine, you'd better bring more commonly used Chinese patent medicines. In addition, dentists here are all at their own expense, and dental care is also expensive. If there is a tooth defect, it is best to cure it in the sea.

Second, electrical appliances

In Canada, electrical appliances are not as cheap as domestic imagination, and there are few types, formats, manufacturers and functions to choose from. If you can buy 1 10V and 220V dual-purpose electrical appliances in China, such as advanced cameras, televisions, fax machines, VCD players, video recorders, high-quality headphones, mice, walkmen and high-quality stereos, you'd better buy them in China. Electric irons, hair dryers, microwave ovens, refrigerators, computers and other bulky or easily damaged electrical appliances can be bought in Canada, and they are not expensive here.

In addition, the rechargeable batteries and chargers here are also very expensive, so try to buy them in China and carry them with you. Because I have just arrived in Canada, my language is not very good, so I'd better buy a good electronic dictionary with a large vocabulary, which is helpful for school.

Third, customs affairs.

As personal belongings and sea baggage passing through Canadian customs for the first time are duty-free, it is best to take as many as possible. If you have valuables, property and cash in China, don't take them to Canada in the future. You'd better make a list in English in duplicate in advance, and indicate the Canadian dollar value. You must declare this time and bring it within one year, otherwise you will have to pay taxes later. The taxes here are very high.

In addition, the subsequent sea baggage should also be listed in English in duplicate, marked with the value of Canadian dollars, and handed over to the customs and stamped by them before it takes effect. If you pass through Hong Kong, the piracy investigation is very strict, so you should be vigilant. Food, meat and animals are not allowed. Each person can bring 1-2 bottles of white wine. You'd better be questioned at the customs before you leave. Are there any special precautions? In addition, it may take a long time to pass through Hong Kong Customs. In order not to miss the plane, you'd better leave one day in advance. Cathay Pacific can check the baggage one day in advance for free, and it can be handled in Central.
