Canada Customs and Documentation
Canada Customs (CBSA) requires Form B4 (Personal Effects Accounting Document) listing all items in two copies, valid Canadian visa, work permit, study permit, or PR card or citizenship, complete inventory with values, and proof of Canadian address. Settlers and returning residents qualify for duty-free entry on personal effects owned for at least 6 months. We file the B4 paperwork through our Canadian customs broker.
Canada-Specific Restrictions
Canada Customs is strict on prohibited items: no firearms without permits, no certain food products, no plants or soil, no most weapons. The CFIA regulates wood furniture for treatment certification. Electronics need to comply with IC (Industry Canada) standards. Canadian alcohol allowance is strict. Our service covers household goods and personal effects only.
Dubai to Canada FAQ
Your shipping cost to Canada depends on your volume, whether you ship by sea (a shared LCL load or a full 20ft or 40ft container) or by air, and how far the inland delivery is beyond the port. We give one fixed, all-inclusive quote after a free home survey or WhatsApp photos, with customs clearance and documentation handled. Air freight is faster than sea but costs more per kilogram.
Sea freight is 32 to 42 days door-to-door, with east coast destinations (Halifax, Montreal, Toronto) faster than west coast (Vancouver). Add 5 to 7 working days for CBSA clearance. Air freight is 7 to 10 days. Total elapsed time is typically 5 to 6 weeks for sea.
Yes. We work with a licenced Canadian customs broker who handles B4 form filing, inventory submission, and port clearance. You provide passport, Canadian immigration document, complete itemised inventory, and proof of Canadian address.
Yes, used personal-effects appliances are accepted. Note Canada uses 120V/60Hz electrical (vs UAE 230V/50Hz), so most appliances will not work without a transformer. Many people sell large appliances in Dubai and buy new in Canada. Electronics like laptops, phones, TVs are dual-voltage and travel fine.
Canada requires that wood pallets and packing material meet ISPM-15 standards for pest treatment. We use only ISPM-15 compliant materials so your shipment passes CFIA inspection without delay. Wood furniture itself is generally accepted but may need fumigation certificates if it shows pest activity.
Standard transit insurance is included up to a declared value. We strongly recommend all-risk insurance for FCL shipments at a small percentage of declared value. Full terms in your quote.
