Hello Friends,
I have finally landed in Canada and I'm already loving this place 
. I'm very new in Canada and I don't know anyone here, so I'm posting a few questions and I hope some can help me out.
I have shipped my container, its a 20 cubic feet container which is going to arrive in Canada - Toronto sometime by next week.
1. Where should I get my customs clearance done is it at a seaport or at the airport?
2. Is there a time limit for the docking of the container at the seaport? Why I ask this is because I live in Ottawa and I need to come to Toronto to get my clearance done then bring the container/goods to Ottawa unload my stuff and then send the Container back to Toronto.
3. Does anyone know any movers in Toronto that help in moving the container?If so could someone provide me with a few contact details.
I really hope someone can help me out with this because this thing is getting me all stressed out 
.
Thanks
Harprit

Hi Harprit,
The customs clearing needs to be done at the same port where your shipment arrives, you don't have to go to the airport if you have made arrangements for your stuff to be shipped by sea.
Regarding the timeline, they keep your shipment for five days without charging you anything and then there is a charge perday after that, depending on the size and weight of the shipment.
I don't have any ideas about movers, you might wanna try the yellow pages though.
Hope this helps!!
Harprit,
You can contact either of the 2 below and get the quotes
a) Jitendra Makwana - Toronto Office
6500 Silver Dart Dr. Unit 210 Mississauga AMF, On, L5P 1B2
TEL: 905-672-7575 Fax: 905-672-2929 email:
b) Mr. A G Menon - Ace Freight

I did the custom clearing and transport using Ace Freight since I had shipped the cargo thru their sister concern in Gulf. The service provided was quiet good.
Good luck
