Are there limits to how much stuff I can bring back to Canada with me?

Yes, there are:

• If you have been away from Canada only 24 hours, then you can only bring back $50 worth of goods in Canadian dollars, duty-free.
• If you have been away 48 hours, you can bring back items worth up to $200 Canadian, duty-free.
• If you have been away for 7 days or more, then you may bring back $750 Canadian worth of things, duty-free.

NOTE: You can include tobacco and alcohol in your 48-hour or your 7-day exemption, but not in your 24-hour exemption. See the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) website for details.
