I got my passaport with visa stamped in mail yesterday and will be flying to do my landing on dec 30th
, now I need to ask, Im just doing my landing this trip but later will take my truck and etc with me at a later date, am I suppose to get something so I can list my goods are do they give me that at time of landing, cause I did not get it with my documents I recieved yesterday.
congrat. wish your landing safe and sound.
Yes, at your landing you need to submit an Inventory list of all the things you intend to bring into Canada - whether you bring them to your landing, or you bring them into Canada in the near future. If you're bringing some things at your landing, and some things later, make two lists and have them both with you. This is your only opportunity to designate things you'll be importing and not have to pay duty on them.
Here's a link to the list. Congrats and Merry Christmas!
It is not absolutely necessary to use the forms provided by CBSA, but it is the better way to do it; two simple lists, one for items you are bringing with you, and the other for items you will bring later ("goods to follow").
The primary document you should use (rather than the generic "accounting" form for importing), I believe, is the following:
http://www.cbsa.gc.ca/publications/forms...b4-eng.pdf
which has a section explicitly for a "settler" (someone entering Canada with the intention of establishing, for the first time, permanent residence).
Then you list the goods to follow in the (generic) form linked by Robsluv.
HOWEVER, since you plan to import your vehicle in this process, I suggest researching the importation of your vehicle more thoroughly. I imported my vehicle concurrent with landing. I am not sure if listing it in the goods to follow is the right way to go about this if you are bringing it later. Probably is but overall importing the vehicle has its own paperwork and procedures, including of course properly "exporting" it from the States, so I suggest looking into that aspect of things more thoroughly.

1. The vehicle can be included in the goods to follow list if it is being imported after "landing"
2. First of all it has to be exported from the US and has to be admissible to Canada. YOu have to fax the title to the US Customs office 72 hours before appearing there see:

3. You have to import the car to Canada through the Register of Motor Vehicles. See;

Yes, this is absolutely true, and is what my husband did. I was driving my car when he landed, and he listed his car on goods to follow. 2 cars actually, one of which we never ended up importing (it finally sold in the US last month). For his primary car, we had been waiting on the recall clearance letter, and getting insurance straightened out and all, so importing it later was much easier than trying to deal with everything all at once.
