Hello! I hope you're all good.
My plan is, to send my goods to follow to Canada a couple of month after my first landing.
I'm wondering if it's necessary for the container to end up in the same province where I landed?
It would be nice if someone had an answer for me.
Thx!

No, it's not necessary especially if the first one was a landlocked province (such as Alberta) and the container is shipped by sea to a coastal province (such as BC).
Hey, thank you all for your advice.
While figuring out what we will bring with us, an other question came up.
How detailed does the list of goods have to be? Is it ok to list something like "a box of books" or a "box of tools" or hobby stuff? Or do I need to list every single item?
Thx again

We went by boxes and it went fine. Obviously for high value or specific things, may be better to list separately. Note, for items, including boxes, you need to provide a value in Canadian dollars.
My pleasure. As a rule of thumb, the level of detail the moving company wanted (also typically used for insurance) is usually going to be sufficient. In some countries/with some companies they may insist on specific things - works of art separate, serial #s for some types of electronics, antiques of any kind (even if not valuable) - that CBSA may not insist on but will be fine with. (Some countries have strict controls on exports of art and antiques, for example)
