Nepal to Canada

Something warm from Nepal, for a Canadian winter.

Students in Toronto, families in Calgary and Vancouver. Here is what to pack, how to write the address, and what it costs today.

Canada splits the check between the border agency (CBSA) and the food inspection agency (CFIA). For you that means: list every food item, and leave meat out.

What you can send

• Clothes and shoes: Wool, pashmina and sweaters are welcome in a Canadian winter.
• Dry, packed food: Packed spices, tea and sweets, labelled and listed.
• Documents: Certificates for study permits and job applications.
• Handicrafts and pashmina: Pashmina and singing bowls are common gifts.

What not to send

• Meat of any kind: Meat products are not allowed into Canada from Nepal.
• Fresh fruit, seeds and soil: CFIA stops them.
• Batteries, gas and anything flammable: Power banks, loose lithium batteries, lighters, matches, perfume in large amounts and aerosol cans cannot fly in cargo.

What the receiver needs

Canadian postal codes mix letters and numbers: A1A 1A1.

• Full name
• Unit and street address
• City, province code (ON, AB, BC...) and postal code
• Canadian phone number

In Canada "1205-25" means unit 1205 at number 25. Keep it in that order.
