We guide you through the Canadian customs process

The Canadian customs process can seem a little complicated at first. But thanks to 25 years of experience, we make shipping belongings to Canada from Malaysia straightforward.

We provide all the documentation you need to clear Canadian Customs Authority. Start by logging into your online account. From there, you can complete all the required online documentation. Including:

• An inventory accurately listing each item you're shipping.
• Insurance to protect your goods in the rare chance of loss or damage.
• Scans of the shipment owner's passport and, if applicable, visa.

New immigrants and citizens re-entering Canada must complete a "Personal Effects Accounting Document," also known as a BSF186 form. To avoid taxes or duties on your belongings, the BSF186 form must be stamped at a RED customs channel upon arrival.

Please note that a strict Canadian customs rule means you must physically be present in Canada when your shipment arrives. Your local Seven Seas Worldwide office will let you know when your goods have arrived in Canada and are awaiting customs clearance.

You must present your customs documents to a Customs Office in the city where your shipment is located. If the office is far from your destination, you may need to travel.

Once your goods have been cleared by customs, your Cargo Control Document (supplied by us) will be stamped as "PARS PERMITTED". Finally, email us your proof of clearance, and we'll arrange the delivery of your shipment to your new address in Canada.

With more than 25 years of experience successfully sending your belongings to Canada from Malaysia, we know how to make it easy.

Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) customs offices

We'll be in touch before your shipment arrives in Canada to let you know which CBSA Customs Office you need to visit to clear your goods. The Customs Office will be local to the bonded warehouse storing your belongings while you arrange customs clearance, but it may not be local to your Canadian address.

Below are the CBSA office and bonded warehouse addresses we currently use:

If you're looking for a kind-yet-thriving country on the up, with awe-inspiring views and burgeoning cities, this large North American wonder could be the new home for you. But before grabbing your hockey sticks and rushing for an aeroplane, be sure to follow our top relocation tips and facts:

Types of visas: there are various options to achieve resident status, including express entry for skilled workers and being nominated by a Canadian province. You must apply for a Permanent Resident (PR) visa to settle in Canada for five years. Having a PR allows you to then apply for full Canadian citizenship.

Job opportunities: the job market in Canada is competitive, but skills and education are highly valued. Being able to speak French and English would give you a considerable advantage. The most prominent industries include agriculture, IT, education, retail and health.

Healthcare: citizens and settlers with a Permanent Resident (PR) card receive free public healthcare, known as Medicare. Tourists and short-term visitors are required to pay. Alternatively, there are many world-renown private healthcare options.

Education: schooling up to the age of sixteen is compulsory nationwide and up to eighteen in Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nunavut and Ontario. Funding is mainly free for all citizens, depending on local government laws. Highly regarded universities include the University of Toronto, McGill University, University of British Columbia and Université de Montréal.

Lifestyle: Canadian culture values politeness, fairness, forward-thinking ideals, and inclusion. The climate might be cold for many months of the year, but the people are always warm! From trekking the rocky mountains to visiting natural wonders of the world, such as Niagra Falls, there's plenty for new settlers to see and do.
