Declarations and the Canadian Border


When you get to the border in Canada, no matter if you’re traveling by land, sea or air, you will inevitably be asked by a member of border security if you have anything to declare. With this post, you will know the answer to that question!

If you’re coming to Canada via aircraft, you’ll have to fill out a declaration card. This form asks the purpose of your visit, your basic information, and a number of questions about what you may or may not be bringing with you, including firearms, food, cash equating $10,000 or more and so on. When arriving to Canada on land or sea, you will likely be asked these questions verbally rather than having to write it down.

It’s very, very important that you are truthful on these forms as being untruthful could result in a fine or the seizure of the goods you did not declare or falsely declared. For example, if you have more than $10,000 in cash and a CBSA officer discovers it, they can seize the money and force you to pay a fine to get it back. Depending on the goods and the circumstances of finding these goods, you may have to pay anywhere from 25 to 80 percent of the value of everything that was seized. If it’s tobacco or alcohol, they will be permanently seized. Any violation of falsely declaring or failing to declare anything on the declaration card will be noted and may mean you are subject to a more thorough search on future trips to Canada.

So save yourself the trouble and declare everything!

You may want to bring food, plants or even animals with you when entering Canada. This is something you have to be quite careful with, and for good reason. Part of the purpose of Canada’s border protection force is to protect Canada’s economy, food supply and environment. As much as humanly possible, the CBSA must take great care in their biosecurity duties. If you have any questions as to whether or not you can bring something into Canada, be sure to contact the CBSA or stay updated by checking a list of what you can bring on the cbsa website at www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca.

Super Visa and Super Visa Insurance


Let's talk about super visas and super visa insurance. I know we've talked about it before, but it's always good to have as much information as possible. You can see the other posts I used to cover super visas and insurance <here> and <here>. On we go!

Basic Requirements

As you know, if you are a parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you can obtain a super visa. To get a super visa, you must:

·         be a parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
·         be admissible to Canada
·         meet other requirements

Considered Factors

These “other requirements” consist of several factors considered by immigration officers, including:

·         ties to your home country
·         the purpose of your visit (not to work in Canada)
·         your family and financial situation (are they stable?)
·         the state of your country (is it financially and politically stable?)
·         a written invitation from a Canadian host

Documented Proof

When you're applying for a super visa, you must present a variety of documents with your application.

These include:
·         A written proof of financial support from the person welcoming you into Canada. This person must meet a minimum income threshold, which is available through the government of Canada's website.
·         Proof of Canadian medical insurance coveraged, good for at least one year.
·         A completed form from an immigration medical examination.

Where Insurance Comes In

Not only is it a requirement to have Canadian health insurance coverage for a certain period before obtaining a super visa, even if it weren't, obtaining medical insurance while abroad is a very wise decision. There's no telling what costs you could incur if a medical emergency were to occur.

Maxxlife Financial Inc offers three types of insurance plans:
·         Plan A: No coverage for per-existing conditions such as diabetes, cancer, etc.
·         Plan B: Coverage provided for per-existing conditions. This policy requires a medical questionnaire before it can be issued.
·         Comprehensive: This insurance covers pre-existing conditions and includes coverage for routine annual check-ups, vaccinations, eye exams and so forth.

Like many forms of insurance, super visa insurance can be customized according to your needs and particular health conditions. Don't leave it to chance and let one of our Maxxlife insurance brokers create a policy for you. We guarantee the lowest prices and can save you up to 40 percent.
