This can be done by using the Advance CBSA Declaration feature available in the ArriveCan app. You can submit your declaration 72 hours in advance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, the Advance CBSA Declaration feature can help you finish up the process 30% faster than a Kiosk. Lastly, travellers who make use of this feature can take advantage of the Advance CBSA Declaration express lanes at the airport to finish up the process faster.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><b>Private Vehicle or Boat<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are arriving by a private vehicle, you can make an oral declaration to a border services officer and that shall be sufficient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will have to follow the signs to the first checkpoint also known as \u201cprimary inspection\u201d after which the border services officer will go through your travel documents and identification and then accept your verbal declaration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are arriving by a private boat, you can make an oral decl<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">aration. After reaching the border, visit a designated marine telephone reporting site and call the CBSA telephone reporting Centre to get clearance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case you as a private boater meet certain conditions, you may report to the CBSA by contacting the TRC using a cell phone from the border location in Canadian waters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, you must declare any money or monetary instrument such as stocks, bonds or cheques that you may be carrying and is valued at CAD 10,000 or more irrespective of your mode of transportation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What are the goods that need to be declared?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you enter Canadian territories you must declare the following goods in your possession :\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 1.\u00a0 Any goods that you have purchased from overseas.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 2.
