I am pretty sure he knows some clear useful info about shipping containers. As far as my take goes, I ship only monies to India. For that you can use SBI or ICICI Toronto. If you use Swift system, they will charge about 50 bux (which is not much if you are moving large sums). As far as things go, I would dispose of everything except some choice textbooks in your discipline; these may not be easy to acquire again there. Last year I spent a month in India and found out they have all kinds of furniture there and not that expensive. I saw some designs built from stainless steel tubing and plush cushions. Very comfy to sit or lounge around and will last quite awhile from the looks of their sturdy build. If it is books you are shipping (In my collection, books are heaviest), you may also get them released from customs in India relatively easy. With all these techno gizmos, you may have to oil some hands to get your stuff past the customs and duties folks.
On the other hand, ask folks back in India to get an idea what it would cost to buy similar stuff there and just send the necessary dollars instead. You can take a pair of laptops, if lucky maybe 4. In that case, you only need to buy a power chord there. I hauled 4 laptops (but not much use from them! The brats I gave them to seem to be using them mostly to watch porn and BS with others on the net. What a waste!) Being in Toronto, you can get your hands on pretty good laptops coming off corporate lease and just throw them in the luggage.
Good luck going back. India certainly felt homely, though I stayed away from it most of my life. I am heading there any moment I get tired of this place. So far, it is only the cash flow that is holding me back. Once I set foot in India next time, I am going to sit around and tell some stories to whoever cares to listen. No more work for me! I did set up a self-retirement thru investments to yield about 2.5 lacs a month so I might be ok. Being in India, one could go round southeast asia as well as hill stations in India for a bit of rest 'n recreation. Good luck to you.
Yup, the weather is warm & so are the people in India.
Plus you are equal in India, no racism & discrimination & you are not treated as a Second class citizen to the Goras.
You are one of them in India. Canada you will always feel like an immigrant & outsider, and never feel you belong here, in spite of the piece of paper called Canadian citizens
If you don't live in a Metro in India, the cost of living is also very low. No stress & you can chill. Plus you have maids & servants & peons to do cooking & cleaning for you.
Also your kids will remain in the Indian culture & not become Westernized in some stupid Canadian school & forget their cultures, values & principles.
You must be really very very lonely to answer your own queries.
Wait till CKB replies next to GI and than ShobhaDe contributes further. You are more of a joker than anticipated. Keep it up. Dont forget to go and cry in your moms lap. May be she can pacify you and reveal secrets of your abused childhood.

Are you driving a cab in Canada ? In India , I have people like you working as my maids & servants.
While you are serving your Gora master. No wonder you are jealous, your childish post is a testament to that

I have some good furniture which is in very good condition. Its's quite expensive to buy that kind of furniture in India. Electronics I won't ship due to voltage issues.
It's a house, not an apartment. Sadly there is not much resale value for used furniture and electronics in Canada, even if they are lightly used and in pristine condition
Good luck with the move...please do post here as you go about your move if you can. It would help many and provide more information to this website.
You certainly have planned well. Good luck and God speed.
