| Subject: Question about bringing belongings to Canada... |

Here is my situation. I am a US citizen, and I plan to come to Canada as a visitor in August, and am getting married 3 weeks later. After, I plan to apply for permanent residency within Canada and live here happily everafter, etc. etc. I have sifted through the customs website and am confused about whether I will be denied entry at the border with my belongings (tv, computer, microwave, etc). My questions are as follows :
1) When coming to Canada, 3 weeks before the wedding, as a visitor, would they have a reason to deny me entry if I tell them that I wish to enter as a visitor, because I am getting married and then applying for permanent residency?
2) Would I be able to bring my belongings? I have sifted through the official canadian customs site and found somethings unclear. Since my application would not yet be processed when I cross the corder, would I be denied entry for my things? Would I just have to pay duty on them? If I gave my items to my fiance, would she be able to cross with them?
We are a pretty informed couple about the whole immigration process, but for some reason this part has become confusing. Any help, suggestions, past experiences, etc, would be tremendously appreciated. Thanks in advance.
