Nothing you arrange on the Canadian side automatically carries over to the Finnish side: Canada&#8217;s export and tax authorities handle your departure, and Finland&#8217;s customs, immigration and animal-health authorities handle your arrival. This guide walks through both halves of the corridor \u2014 the Canadian export and exit process and the Finnish import and settling-in process \u2014 plus a short note for anyone later moving the other way. It is written for people who actually hold status in Canada (citizens, permanent residents or long-term residents) and are relocating to Finland to work, join family or study.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"flyto-article-img\" style=\"margin:26px 0;border-radius:16px;overflow:hidden;box-shadow:0 18px 40px -22px rgba(15,15,15,.3);\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/flyto-wp-uploads.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/03182823\/FLYTO-Muutto-Kuvaaja-Nuuti-Paananen-9_2_11zon-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"Flyto Relocation international moving\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;display:block;\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Key takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Canada&#8217;s customs authority is the <strong>Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)<\/strong>; export reporting runs through the <strong>Canadian Export Reporting System (CERS)<\/strong>, and commercial goods valued at <strong>CAD 2,000 or more<\/strong> bound for a non-US country must be reported (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca\/publications\/dm-md\/d20\/d20-1-1-eng.html\">CBSA D20-1-1<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>Canada has no population &quot;deregistration&quot; office; your exit is primarily a <strong>tax<\/strong> matter handled by the <strong>Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)<\/strong> when you sever residential ties and become an emigrant (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/revenue-agency\/services\/tax\/international-non-residents\/individuals-leaving-entering-canada-non-residents\/leaving-canada-emigrants.html\">CRA \u2014 Leaving Canada<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>As a non-EU national you almost always need a <strong>residence permit from the Finnish Immigration Service (Migri)<\/strong> before you move, and a first permit must be applied for from abroad (<a href=\"https:\/\/migri.fi\/en\/residence-permit-for-an-employed-person\">Migri<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>Finland lets you import household <strong>removal goods duty- and VAT-free<\/strong> if you have lived outside the EU for at least <strong>12 months<\/strong> and have owned and used the goods for at least <strong>6 months<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/tulli.fi\/en\/individuals\/moving\/to-finland\">Finnish Customs<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>You declare removal goods to <strong>Finnish Customs (Tulli)<\/strong> via the Import Declaration Service for private persons or on <strong>form 1161<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/tulli.fi\/en\/individuals\/moving\/how-to-declare-removal-goods\">Finnish Customs<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>Dogs, cats and ferrets need a <strong>microchip, valid rabies vaccination and an EU animal health certificate<\/strong>; dogs also need an <strong>Echinococcus tapeworm treatment 24\u201348 hours before arrival<\/strong>, and animals may only enter via <strong>Helsinki Airport or the Vaalimaa land crossing<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruokavirasto.fi\/en\/themes\/import-and-export\/import\/animals-and-animal-products\/animals-and-gametes\/dogs-cats-and-ferrets\/import-of-dogs-cats-and-ferrets\/\">Finnish Food Authority<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>Carrying <strong>CAD 10,000+<\/strong> out of Canada, or <strong>EUR 10,000+<\/strong> into Finland, must be declared to the respective customs authority (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca\/travel-voyage\/ttd-vdd-eng.html\">CBSA<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/tulli.fi\/en\/restrictions\/cash\">Finnish Customs<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>1. Your Finnish immigration status decides your customs treatment<\/h2>\n<p>Before touching a single box, settle your Finnish status, because it drives everything else. Canadians are third-country (non-EU\/EEA) nationals, so in most cases you need a residence permit before you arrive. If you are coming to work for a Finnish employer, the usual route is a <strong>residence permit for an employed person<\/strong>, applied for through the Enter Finland e-service and then confirmed in person at a Finnish mission abroad; a first permit must be lodged from outside Finland (<a href=\"https:\/\/migri.fi\/en\/residence-permit-for-an-employed-person\">Migri<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>This status matters for customs because Finland&#8217;s duty- and VAT-free relief on removal goods requires, among other conditions, that you hold a valid residence permit issued for at least one year where one is needed (<a href=\"https:\/\/tulli.fi\/en\/individuals\/moving\/to-finland\">Finnish Customs<\/a>). In short: the immigration permit is not just paperwork for the border guard \u2014 it is a precondition for importing your household tax-free.<\/p>\n<h2>2. The Canada export side: authority, exit and taxes<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The customs authority.<\/strong> On the Canadian side, exports are handled by the <strong>Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)<\/strong>. Reporting is done electronically through the <strong>Canadian Export Reporting System (CERS)<\/strong>, a web-based portal for submitting export declarations to the CBSA. Reporting is mandatory for non-restricted commercial goods valued at <strong>CAD 2,000 or more<\/strong> destined for any country other than the United States, Puerto Rico or the US Virgin Islands (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca\/publications\/dm-md\/d20\/d20-1-1-eng.html\">CBSA D20-1-1<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Genuine personal and household effects that are not for resale are generally outside the reporting requirement \u2014 but the regulations single out <strong>the goods of an emigrant<\/strong> as a distinct category rather than a blanket exemption, so if you are permanently leaving Canada, confirm the correct treatment with your international mover or the CBSA, and rely on Memorandum D20-1-1 rather than second-hand summaries (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca\/publications\/dm-md\/d20\/d20-1-1-eng.html\">CBSA D20-1-1<\/a>). A reputable relocation company files any required export declaration for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&quot;Deregistration&quot; \u2014 the tax exit.<\/strong> Unlike the Nordic countries, Canada has no central population registry you sign out of. Your departure is chiefly a tax event. For income-tax purposes you become an <strong>emigrant<\/strong> when you leave Canada to live in another country and <strong>sever your residential ties<\/strong> \u2014 a home, spouse or dependants, and secondary ties such as bank accounts, a driver&#8217;s licence and provincial health coverage (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/revenue-agency\/services\/tax\/international-non-residents\/individuals-leaving-entering-canada-non-residents\/leaving-canada-emigrants.html\">CRA \u2014 Leaving Canada<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Departure tax.<\/strong> When you emigrate, the CRA treats you as having disposed of most of your property at fair market value on your departure date and immediately reacquired it \u2014 the &quot;deemed disposition,&quot; commonly called the <strong>departure tax<\/strong> \u2014 and any resulting capital gains are taxable. Certain property is excluded, including Canadian real estate and registered plans such as RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs, FHSAs and TFSAs. If the total fair market value of the property you owned when you left exceeds a set threshold, you must also list it on a prescribed form. File your final return for the part-year you were resident, and report the deemed disposition, on the CRA&#8217;s emigrant guidance (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/revenue-agency\/services\/tax\/international-non-residents\/individuals-leaving-entering-canada-non-residents\/leaving-canada-emigrants.html\">CRA \u2014 Leaving Canada<\/a>). Because departure tax can be significant and interacts with the Canada\u2013Finland tax treaty, this is the one area where paid cross-border advice usually pays for itself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Practical loose ends.<\/strong> Cancel or update provincial health coverage (each province sets its own residency rules), address your driver&#8217;s licence, and tell your bank and pension providers you are becoming a non-resident.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Ports and transit: real routes, estimated times<\/h2>\n<p>Household goods from Canada to Finland almost always travel by sea in a container, with air freight reserved for urgent or small consignments. The realistic departure gateways are Canada&#8217;s major container ports \u2014 the <strong>Port of Montreal<\/strong> and the <strong>Port of Halifax<\/strong> on the east coast, and the <strong>Port of Vancouver<\/strong> on the west coast \u2014 usually feeding a European hub before a final leg to a Finnish port such as <strong>Helsinki (Vuosaari)<\/strong> or <strong>HaminaKotka<\/strong>. Air freight typically routes through <strong>Toronto Pearson (YYZ)<\/strong>, <strong>Montr\u00e9al\u2013Trudeau (YUL)<\/strong> or <strong>Vancouver (YVR)<\/strong> to <strong>Helsinki-Vantaa (HEL)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Transit times below are <strong>freight-industry estimates, not official government figures<\/strong>, and vary with sailing schedules, transhipment, weather and customs handling:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sea freight, east coast (Montreal\/Halifax) to Finland:<\/strong> roughly 4\u20137 weeks door-to-door.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sea freight, west coast (Vancouver) to Finland:<\/strong> roughly 6\u20139 weeks, given the longer routing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Air freight:<\/strong> typically several days to about two weeks door-to-door once collected and cleared.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Treat these as planning ranges only and confirm firm dates against a live booking.<\/p>\n<h2>4. The Finland import side: form and process<\/h2>\n<p>When your goods reach Finland from outside the EU, they must be cleared through <strong>Finnish Customs (Tulli)<\/strong>. You can usually import them <strong>free of customs duty and VAT<\/strong> as removal goods if your normal residence has been outside the EU for a continuous period of at least <strong>12 months<\/strong>, and the goods have been in your possession and in your own or your household&#8217;s use for at least <strong>6 months<\/strong> before the move. You must also declare the goods <strong>within 12 months<\/strong> of moving, though you may bring them in several batches (<a href=\"https:\/\/tulli.fi\/en\/individuals\/moving\/to-finland\">Finnish Customs<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>You declare removal goods either in the <strong>Import Declaration Service for private persons<\/strong> online, or on <strong>form 1161<\/strong> (its completion instructions should be read first). A separate <strong>form 45<\/strong> \u2014 the declaration on the conditions for exemption \u2014 is only needed if you do not use the online service or form 1161. Have ready a general list of your goods (for example &quot;one bed, a television set, 3 kg of clothes&quot;), a copy of your passport, and evidence of having lived abroad, such as a certificate of employment (<a href=\"https:\/\/tulli.fi\/en\/individuals\/moving\/how-to-declare-removal-goods\">Finnish Customs<\/a>). Note that alcohol, tobacco and certain other goods fall outside removal-goods relief and are handled separately.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have settled, register your move with the <strong>Digital and Population Data Services Agency (DVV)<\/strong> to obtain a Finnish personal identity code and a municipality of residence \u2014 the keys to banking, tax cards and public services \u2014 which generally involves an online application followed by an in-person visit (<a href=\"https:\/\/dvv.fi\/en\/moving-to-finland\">DVV<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h2>5. Pets: the rules at both ends<\/h2>\n<p>Canada does not impose special export health controls on your pet leaving the country; the binding rules are Finland&#8217;s (EU) import rules, enforced by the <strong>Finnish Food Authority (Ruokavirasto)<\/strong>. For dogs, cats and ferrets arriving from Canada you need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A <strong>microchip<\/strong> meeting the ISO 11784 standard (HDX or FDX-B), implanted before vaccination.<\/li>\n<li>A <strong>valid rabies vaccination<\/strong>, given at 12 weeks or older, with a minimum <strong>21-day<\/strong> wait before entry; the animal must be at least 15 weeks old on entry.<\/li>\n<li>An <strong>EU-model animal health certificate<\/strong> (model CANIS-FELIS-FERRETS) issued by an official veterinarian, with a clinical exam within 48 hours before departure; the certificate is valid for 10 days from issuance.<\/li>\n<li>For <strong>dogs<\/strong>, an <strong>Echinococcus multilocularis tapeworm treatment<\/strong> administered by a vet <strong>24\u201348 hours (1\u20132 days) before arrival<\/strong> in Finland.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Animals may only be brought in through <strong>Helsinki Airport or the Vaalimaa land border crossing point<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruokavirasto.fi\/en\/themes\/import-and-export\/import\/animals-and-animal-products\/animals-and-gametes\/dogs-cats-and-ferrets\/import-of-dogs-cats-and-ferrets\/\">Finnish Food Authority<\/a>). Because vaccination timing and the tapeworm window are strict, book your vet appointments around your travel dates well in advance.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Vehicles, money and things people forget<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Vehicles.<\/strong> Bringing a car from Canada is rarely worth it. A vehicle imported from outside the EU must be customs-cleared, and Finland applies a <strong>VAT rate of 25.5% and a 10% customs duty<\/strong> on cars, on top of Finnish <strong>car tax<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/tulli.fi\/en\/restrictions\/cars\/moving\">Finnish Customs<\/a>). Before first use you must file a declaration of use and a car-tax return with the <strong>Finnish Tax Administration (Vero)<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vero.fi\/en\/individuals\/property\/car-tax\/importing-vehicle-to-Finland\/\">Vero<\/a>), then pass a registration inspection and register the vehicle with the transport agency <strong>Traficom<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/traficom.fi\/en\/transport\/drivers-and-vehicles\/buying-and-selling-vehicle\/importing-vehicle-finland\">Traficom<\/a>). North American vehicles can also struggle to meet EU type-approval, so most movers sell the car in Canada.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Money.<\/strong> If you carry <strong>CAD 10,000 or more<\/strong> (or its foreign-currency equivalent) out of Canada, you must report it to the CBSA on the Cross-Border Currency report (form E677 for individuals) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca\/travel-voyage\/ttd-vdd-eng.html\">CBSA<\/a>). Entering Finland from outside the EU with <strong>EUR 10,000 or more<\/strong> in cash requires a <strong>cash declaration<\/strong> to Finnish Customs (<a href=\"https:\/\/tulli.fi\/en\/restrictions\/cash\">Finnish Customs<\/a>). Bank transfers avoid both.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Easily forgotten:<\/strong> provincial health-card cancellation, redirecting Canadian mail, closing or converting Canadian bank and brokerage accounts as a non-resident, an international driving permit for your first months, and keeping proof of your dates abroad for the 12-month customs test.<\/p>\n<h2>How Flyto handles your Canada to Finland move<\/h2>\n<p>Flyto runs strong in-house European operations \u2014 our own offices, warehouses, teams and vehicles across Northern, Central and Southern Europe \u2014 which we combine with a carefully chosen network of vetted partners and subcontractors for the ocean and air legs out of Canada. In Finland we work hand-in-hand with trusted local partners for delivery, customs formalities and unpacking, so your household is managed end to end without us pretending to own every link in the chain.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Do I need a residence permit before I ship my belongings?<\/strong><br \/>\nIn most cases yes. As a non-EU national you generally need a Migri residence permit, and a valid permit (issued for at least a year, where required) is also a condition of duty- and VAT-free removal-goods relief (<a href=\"https:\/\/migri.fi\/en\/residence-permit-for-an-employed-person\">Migri<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/tulli.fi\/en\/individuals\/moving\/to-finland\">Finnish Customs<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Will I pay duty or VAT on my household goods in Finland?<\/strong><br \/>\nNot if you meet the removal-goods conditions: at least 12 months&#8217; residence outside the EU, ownership and use of the goods for at least 6 months, and declaration within 12 months of moving (<a href=\"https:\/\/tulli.fi\/en\/individuals\/moving\/to-finland\">Finnish Customs<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the departure tax and will it apply to me?<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen you sever residential ties and emigrate, the CRA deems you to have disposed of most property at fair market value, taxing accrued gains \u2014 though real estate and registered plans are excluded (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/revenue-agency\/services\/tax\/international-non-residents\/individuals-leaving-entering-canada-non-residents\/leaving-canada-emigrants.html\">CRA<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which form do I use to clear my goods in Finland?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Import Declaration Service for private persons online, or paper form 1161; form 45 is only needed if you use neither (<a href=\"https:\/\/tulli.fi\/en\/individuals\/moving\/how-to-declare-removal-goods\">Finnish Customs<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long does shipping take?<\/strong><br \/>\nPlan on roughly 4\u20137 weeks by sea from eastern Canada and longer from the west coast. These are freight-industry estimates, not official figures, and depend on schedules and clearing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if I later move back \u2014 Finland to Canada?<\/strong><br \/>\nReverse the process: your goods are handled by the CBSA, and as a settler or returning resident you account for household effects on <strong>form BSF186 (Personal Effects Accounting Document)<\/strong>, including a &quot;goods to follow&quot; list presented at your first entry, for duty-free import under settler provisions (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca\/publications\/forms-formulaires\/bsf186-eng.html\">CBSA BSF186<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h2>Sources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca\/publications\/dm-md\/d20\/d20-1-1-eng.html\">CBSA \u2014 Memorandum D20-1-1: Exporter Reporting<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/revenue-agency\/services\/tax\/international-non-residents\/individuals-leaving-entering-canada-non-residents\/leaving-canada-emigrants.html\">CRA \u2014 Leaving Canada (emigrants)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca\/travel-voyage\/ttd-vdd-eng.html\">CBSA \u2014 Travelling with CAN$10,000 or more<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca\/publications\/forms-formulaires\/e677-eng.html\">CBSA \u2014 Form E677, Cross-Border Currency or Monetary Instruments Report (Individual)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca\/publications\/forms-formulaires\/bsf186-eng.html\">CBSA \u2014 Form BSF186, Personal Effects Accounting Document<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tulli.fi\/en\/individuals\/moving\/to-finland\">Finnish Customs (Tulli) \u2014 I am moving to Finland<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tulli.fi\/en\/individuals\/moving\/how-to-declare-removal-goods\">Finnish Customs (Tulli) \u2014 How to declare removal goods<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tulli.fi\/en\/restrictions\/cash\">Finnish Customs (Tulli) \u2014 Cash<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tulli.fi\/en\/restrictions\/cars\/moving\">Finnish Customs (Tulli) \u2014 Cars and moving<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/migri.fi\/en\/residence-permit-for-an-employed-person\">Finnish Immigration Service (Migri) \u2014 Residence permit for an employed person<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dvv.fi\/en\/moving-to-finland\">Digital and Population Data Services Agency (DVV) \u2014 Moving to Finland<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruokavirasto.fi\/en\/themes\/import-and-export\/import\/animals-and-animal-products\/animals-and-gametes\/dogs-cats-and-ferrets\/import-of-dogs-cats-and-ferrets\/\">Finnish Food Authority (Ruokavirasto) \u2014 Import of dogs, cats and ferrets<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vero.fi\/en\/individuals\/property\/car-tax\/importing-vehicle-to-Finland\/\">Finnish Tax Administration (Vero) \u2014 Importing a vehicle to Finland: car tax<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/traficom.fi\/en\/transport\/drivers-and-vehicles\/buying-and-selling-vehicle\/importing-vehicle-finland\">Traficom \u2014 Importing a vehicle to Finland<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Relocating from Canada to Finland means moving your life across an ocean and across a customs border between two entirely separate legal systems.
