Frank,

Read the web page title: "Settling in Canada"
Its talking about individuals wanting to enter Canada for residency.
Not about Canadian residents wanting to import goods from outside
Canada. There is no duty or tax on personal property of people
immigrating into Canada. I knew of several US imigrants into
Canada and that is generally the case.
Is that so hard to understand?

There is -- but it applies only to individaul items of property valued in
excess of $10,000. Unless aircraft are specifically exempted (cars are not)
then it could be quite expensive to import a plane.
