Landing to Declare by Air and then Landing to Settle by Car many months later

[DL2017]

So if I travel to Vancouver in May to "Declare" (not planning on settling yet so I can settle affairs in USA) so that I can get my PR card mailed to me, I should bring a goods accompanying list and a goods to follow list to get stamped by the border officials at the airport. My question is, what happens when I get my goods to follow list stamped on my first visit and then lets say 6 months later I am now ready to move permanently and I have purchased more things that were not on my initial goods to follow list which was stamped already?? Do I need to update my list? Bring a new list? What if I am traveling by car and bringing all my things by ground, what happens in this scenario?

You get only one opportunity to declare goods. You can submit your lists at the time of permanent move.

Thanks for the reply and the link to that informational thread. Just to be clear, the time of permanent move can be the time I drive up to Vancouver then, instead of the time I land by air at YVR. Correct?

So when I land at YVR, i will be under the impression that I will not turn in a GTF list yet and will turn it in and get it stamped on the day I actually plan to permanently move (which is when I'm crossing the border by car with all my belongings in tow)....?

and thank you for your help and putting my mind at ease.
