Canada is one of the busiest routes off Trinidad and Tobago, thanks to a large, long-settled community, especially around Toronto. Whether you're emigrating, studying, or joining family, your goods are packed and loaded in Trinidad, sail from the Port of Port of Spain, and clear customs at a Canadian port, usually Montreal, before travelling on by road to Toronto or beyond. What changes from a UK move is the customs at the Canadian end.
If you're moving to Canada, your used personal and household effects can usually enter duty- and tax-free as settlers' effects, provided you owned, possessed and used them before arriving and they're for personal use, not resale. You declare them to the Canada Border Services Agency on Form BSF186, the Personal Effects Accounting Document, with Form BSF186A as the goods-to-follow list, the one your container ships under. The key is a detailed inventory, with each item's description, value, make and serial number, which doubles as your packing list; only goods on that original list clear duty-free when they land. You must arrive in Canada before your goods, and declare at your first point of entry to open your file. Your partner and a Canadian customs broker handle the customs declaration.
The same shared and full containers, run in reverse.

Every town, island and service.
Your vetted partner packs and protects your goods, loads a shared or full container, and books a sailing from the Port of Port of Spain to a Canadian port, usually Montreal. Allow roughly three to five weeks for the crossing, plus packing before and Canadian clearance after. Once it clears, your goods travel on by road to Toronto or your final address, with furniture reassembled. A car is a separate process through Transport Canada's vehicle import programme.
