Reasons My Baggage customers ship to Canada:
The journey to Canada is long-haul and, unsurprisingly, there are those who wish to avoid the nightmare of hauling their suitcase or heavy bags on such a long, tedious journey; from their home and through train stations, taxis and airports. Thankfully, My Baggage’s convenient and affordable services make for the perfect alternative to airline baggage.
When you book a bag on your flight, you need to keep in mind your airline’s restrictive, less-than-generous baggage weight allowances when packing up all of your personal belongings. It means you may have to make the sacrifice that no one wants to make; leaving many of your beloved personal belongings behind. Even then, you might still be faced with a nasty surprise at the check-in desk, meaning you’ll have to cough up extortionate excess baggage fees. When travelling long-haul, it’s not an ideal situation.
Thankfully, My Baggage allows you to ship a massive 30kg/66lbs per suitcase at fantastic low rates. You also have the option to pay extra for even heavier bags, if you need to. That means you’ll never have to leave any of your beloved possessions behind again.
If you’re a student travelling to Canada to study abroad, or perhaps if you are emigrating with your family; our generous baggage weight allowance and your ability to send as many items as you like with us can come in particularly useful. It allows you to bring more possessions with you than if you were simply relying on a few checked pieces of luggage.

Of course, shipping your luggage via My Baggage isn’t the only way to get all of your excess baggage to Canada. If you need to transport your things to Canada, you should make yourself aware of the numerous options available; after all, some options will suit your personal needs better than others. Here are just a few alternative options:
International Removals
If you and your family are emigrating to Canada to begin a new life, and perhaps have a lot of possessions to bring; such as furniture, as well as an abundance of personal belongings – you might consider transporting everything with an international removals company. This means you can transport all of your worldly belongings in one go; from smaller, personal items to all of the pieces of furniture that you need for your big move.
Air Freight
Perhaps you don’t have an entire household of belongings to ship to Canada; but you do have a number of exceptionally large items you wish to transport. Perhaps a sofa, a fridge or even your car. Although a fast option of transporting your belongings, air freight tends to be an exceptionally expensive option; as air freight is typically charged by weight and volume. You also need to consider the transportation of your items to and from airports.
Sea Freight
Sea freight also allows you to send exceptionally large, bulky items to Canada that may be otherwise difficult to transport to such a destination. However, your items will be shipped via cargo ships in large shipping containers. Therefore, it’s important to note that shipping your possessions by sea freight can be an exceptionally slow voyage, meaning you need to be okay with being without your belongings for quite some time. Depending on the service you choose, you could be waiting for up to two months for it to arrive.
If you’re shipping luggage to Canada, you are legally required to complete and send a customs declaration with your shipment. Whether you’re sending personal effects or a gift to a loved one; if your shipment does not have customs documents attached, it will not make it past your local country border, and you may have to pay return charges to get it back. My Baggage will automatically provide you with the appropriate customs documents for you to complete, print and sign when you send your luggage to Canada with us.
Generally, My Baggage shipments clear customs in a timely manner, free from duties and taxes, as most countries offer a generous duty-free allowance for personal effects. However, as customs processes and allowances are different around the world, and because My Baggage has no control over any customs authority; we do advise doing your own personal research into Canadian customs regulations and quarantine before booking your shipment to Canada. Please make yourself aware of potential customs duties in Canada and be sure to follow any and all advice provided by customs directly.
If shipping to; Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba, Price Edward Island, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, Yukon or Nunavut – self-clearance will be required, in which the named consignee will need to visit a local Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) location. Before booking a luggage shipment to Canada, it is important to ensure a CBSA location is accessible to you.
It is extremely important to note that any goods that have not been cleared within 40 days of arrival into Canada will be assumed “abandoned” by the Canadian customs authority and the ownership of the goods will transfer to the Canadian state for disposal.
