有冇人試過返左HK一年到，之后又返回Vancouver？7 days 會有$750CDN 免稅，同時想知道當要過Canada custom，D海関人員會有什麼問題發問？有冇人有類似情形曾發生？

My mom is in the same situation. So one time she used the 特區護照 when she come back. The custom says that she should use Canadian passport since she is Canadian. (eventhough non-resident). So my mom just says "my Canadian passport is expired so I use the other one...

If you haven't come back for 2 years, you're non-resident already if you don't have any dependent, real estate property, bank account, care card here. You don't really have to declare it under the tax ...

其實有個問題﹐

有無LYK hold加拿大passport﹐呢家係加拿大非居民。但試過用特區護照遊客身份返加拿大? 有無問題?

我都參唔多兩年無返過黎﹐我驚如果拿住本Canadian passport會比海關的入房。變做遊客身份好似無0甘煩?

Suppose I bought something worth less than the $750. If the custom asks, do I have anything to declare, I can just say I have nothing to declare, instead of saying, I have bought stuff, but less than  ...

You tell them the exact amount on what you buy and have all the receipt on your hand and wave to them in case they want to check.  They usually will not check though.

Never say you have nothing to declare or did not buy anything unless you really did not buy anything.  They will suspect if you say you did not buy anything.

Do visitors need to pay taxes on items that they bring into Canada and that they will leave behind?

Theoretically, yes.  The custom have the right to ask you to prove that you will be taking the items with you when you are leaving in order to have taxes exempted.

Sorry to bring this thread up again.  I need some advice, here are my situation:

My family (2Adult+2kid) landed in 2005 and we stayed a few weeks to get our PR card.  We went back to HK and I continu ...

You are a non residents so you do not have to file tax return unless you have earn some income in Canada such as rental or bank interest.

The limit is 750 per person since you already handed in your list.

It's funny because my wife and I just came back from Canada from Hawaii (via Buffalo) for a little less than a week.  When we reach the Fort Erie Peace Bridge, the Canada Customs person asked us where we stayed, when we left.  And finally how much goods we bought - I told them in total we have US$320.  He exclaimed "That's it?  Good bye." He interrupted me in my sentence trying to say that I was bringing in a bottle of liquor.  So we just drove up the QEW and back home.

From our experience going across the border via land is less hassle free than via airport.  For the past year, I have not use Toronto Pearson Airport to travel to the US but rather driving down to Buffalo use Buffalo Airport (and fly as "domestic").  Not to mention the air fare from Buffalo is much cheaper compared to Pearson. (We flew to Orlando from Buffalo with Southwest - only $59 each way + fees.  Try that for a flight from Toronto.)

so the CAD750/person limit applies?
