1. Fill in the customs declaration form on the plane, and the whole family can fill in L copies. Please ask the waiter to help fill it out. Before the plane lands, the crew will report the weather and temperature on the ground and prepare their own clothes properly.

2. After the plane stops, pack your carry-on luggage and follow the crowd into the airport lobby in an orderly manner.

3. Accept immigration inspection

(1) When you get off the plane in Vancouver, you will be welcomed by "Community Adaptation and Airport Reception for New Immigrants" (CANN), and you can provide multilingual services to help them enter the immigration inspection channel;

(2) After showing your passport and immigrant visa, you will be told to queue up at the new entry-exit inspection office on the right;

(3) At the new border checkpoint, the immigration officer verifies the identity, and the whole process takes as short as 5- 10 minutes and as long as 30-60 minutes. If you don't understand the immigration officer's questions, you can seek Chinese (Cantonese or Mandarin) translation help;

The questions asked by the immigration officer include: "Have you been to Canada before"; "Whether there is a criminal record"; "Whether the situation of marriage and children has changed" and so on. When you ask "How much money did you bring", you should answer truthfully according to the amount in Item 8 of the application form (generally, random inspection is not allowed); When asked "Are there any items to be checked in later", please answer truthfully;

(4) After verifying the identity, the immigration officer will ask everyone to sign their respective immigration documents. The signature must be in pinyin, with a name and surname, and the accompanying children should be signed by the principal applicant. After that, the immigration officer stamped the entry stamp on the passport, and handed in the social insurance card application form and other resettlement information kits to properly keep these materials.

4. Pick up the luggage, remove the checked baggage from the baggage conveyor belt of the relevant airline and put it on the cart.

5. Customs inspection. Carry all checked baggage and hand-held articles, show your passport, immigrant visa and customs declaration form to the customs inspectors for inspection. Prepare two lists, one for personal belongings and the other for goods to be shipped. Items are generally not checked out of the box, and usually only X-rays and police inspections are made to prevent drugs.

6. If you need to transfer, leave the quarantine area and enter the airport lobby to check in in Toronto (or elsewhere) and check your luggage.

7. When you arrive at your destination, when you leave the airport, you must be careful. If the relatives and friends who pick up the plane don't arrive, don't panic and wait patiently. If you want to make a public phone call, don't let strangers look after your luggage. Bags containing valuables such as documents and money must be carried with you. In addition, it is best to exchange some small Canadian currency at the airport.

Note: Because China immigrants may like to carry a lot of cash abroad, some criminal groups commit crimes specifically for this purpose. There have been several incidents of valuables stolen from China immigrants at Vancouver Airport. Therefore, it is best to bring the funds to Canada by bank wire transfer or purchase draft.

You can get a map of the city where you live at the airport. Generally, you can stay at a relative's house or hotel on the first night after you arrive in Canada. Hotels in the city center are generally more expensive, while motels near the city center are cheaper. You can also stay in the rooms of YMCA and YWCA.

9. Contact local relatives and friends after check-in, and call the family in China to report peace.

10. Before renting or buying a house, you can rent in some apartments in short rent. The rent is lower than that of hotels and higher than that of private houses, but you can move out at any time without a lease, and you can cook for yourself during your stay.

Two. Matters needing attention when entering Canada

1. Vancouver Airport in Canada is usually busy on weekends in summer, which is also the peak time for immigrants to land. It may take more than two hours to prepare for immigration procedures. Immigrants don't worry, airport pick-up people should arrange pick-up time accordingly. It takes 2-3 hours to transfer.

2. Canada Customs has no restrictions on funds (cash, checks, bank drafts, etc.). ), but you must declare a large amount of cash (US$ 65.438 million +0.000 or more), and generally you will not check it on the spot.

If you tell the immigration officer that you don't have much money, the immigration officer may refuse you entry, thinking that the living expenses are not enough, which will cause the government's relief burden.

You don't need to prove that you have been vaccinated when you enter Canada, but you'd better bring your vaccination certificate or case. Children need to provide their own vaccination certificates to prove their immunity, so that children can easily enter school.

5. The customs inspection of immigrants entering the country for the first time is relatively loose, and the customs inspection of entry and exit will be carried out normally in the future.

6. It's best to make a list of your personal belongings, and then make a list of the luggage that will arrive later (mail, air, sea). As long as it can be proved that these items are privately owned and used (not for profit), they can be brought into China duty-free. If something is not declared, you must pay customs duty. There are detailed rules for pets, cars or jewelry.

7. Restricted items:

(1) Fresh food and meat products are not allowed, and the customs ban is very strict. No matter how strange the local products are, don't force them through;

(2) It is prohibited to bring into the country books, periodicals, audio-visual products and computer software that have been copied without authorization.

8. When all Canadian residents go abroad and return to Canada, all articles need customs inspection and customs duties. In addition to tobacco and alcohol products, if you leave the country for more than 24 hours, your personal allowance will be 50 yuan; If you leave the country for more than 48 hours, you will receive personal allowance from 200 yuan; For those who leave the country for 7 days or more, the personal allowance is 500 yuan.

Any passenger aged 19 or above can carry up to 200 cigarettes (1) and 50 cigars (1). 1 1 liter of wine or spirits, or 8. Five liters of beer.
