B4 when most stuff is already in Canada

[DCGelfling]

I've been living in Canada as a visitor while waiting out the PR process since August. When I arrived, I brought all my clothes, books, DVDs, video games and consoles, the cat's stuff, and a whole bunch of knitting stuff. How do I handle that when I land? List it on the B4, but tell them it's already in the country? Only list the valuable stuff (which is probably the consoles and yarn)? I don't actually have much stuff in the US; we purged the big stuff because I had to abandon anything that wouldn't fit in my Toyota Echo (which I have also since purged because it wasn't worth the hassles it was creating). If the CoPR arrives while I'm in the US for the holidays, I can at least have the laptop actually with me, plus any presents and other shopping we might do before going home.

Also, do I need to declare my engagement and wedding rings if the engagement ring was his grandmother's wedding ring (and thus Canadian from the beginning) and he bought the wedding rings online and had them shipped to his apartment in Canada?

B4 is mostly used to bring things into the country free of taxes. So if it's in Canada already, no need. The purpose of the B4 is to have a list of goods that can be stamped "customs free" and then released ( if they are hold in a warehouse etc) without you having to pay a lot of taxes.... so in your case, it doesn't really apply.
Was the same for me... I came in with 2 suitcases on the plane, and that was about it. Didn't even fill out a B4.
Good luck,

I been here since April brought what I wanted with me got rid of the rest, when I landed I told him all I needed was already here, he asked nothing about my wedding rings. he actually said thank you for making it so easy LOL I guess the hard work is when they have to get in and go thru everything.

it's been more than a month since your passport request, so you're pretty near the end... should be all good very soon - hopefully as a Christmas present!
Good luck,
