First of all, you will be asked to fill out a customs declaration form on the plane.

Families can fill out an entry card, each of which can contain information for up to four people.

It’ll say visitor or permenant resident, and it’s usually a visitor channel when you first land.

The customs place is a row of counters, similar to what you see when you go through the customs in China.

You can take out the customs declaration form you filled out on the plane at the customs (if you didn’t write it on the plane, you can find this card when you go through the customs, just write it on the side), let the customs staff know that you are landing in Canada for the first time, and then he will ask you to handle your business in the back.

All students or workers who arrive in Canada for the first time need to change their study permit or workpermit here. Those who travel or visit relatives do not need to, and the immigration office will only stamp the passport.

When you go through customs, the customs will ask you some questions.

You’ll get your immigration papers back later.

If he writes “¢Ù” on the immigration paper, it means there is no need to check your baggage.

If you take your luggage, you should open the box for customs inspection.

There will be a baggage cart at the exit, and you can push it to the carousel to get your luggage.

1. In the arrivals hall of the airport, there are “Contraband disposal boxes”.

If you have any contraband that you are not allowed to bring into the country, dispose of it decisively to avoid future problems.

If you have restricted contraband in your checked baggage, you should also contact the CBSA officer at the baggage claim area.

2. Entry through automatic clearance service machine will not avoid CBSA inspection.

CBSA officers and professional money and meat dogs are standing guard at “Checkpoint Two”.

3. CBSA officials can read Chinese labels and instructions.

They read the ingredients on the packaging and instructions of some foods and medicines and supplements to see if they contain illegal ingredients.

4. If you deliberately smuggle contraband into customs, or if you carry a large quantity of contraband, the identity information of the passenger will be entered into a database equivalent to a “blacklist”, and the passenger will receive special treatment from CBSA every time he/she passes through the customs.

Therefore, if you are accidentally carrying something or you are not sure whether it is prohibited, you should take the initiative to confess to CBSA officers.

5. Although the CBSA does not impose excessive fines, depending on the circumstances, there will still be fines for those carrying contraband, and some cases have been reported in the press.

For more serious or non-cooperative contraband smuggling and attempted tax evasion, the CBSA imposes considerable fines.

More often, of course, the items involved are confiscated.

6. According to historical experience, the three types of prohibited items most frequently checked by Chinese are animal and plant products (such as raw and cooked meat, fruits, Chinese medicinal materials, etc.), cash and jewelry.
