You can't just move to Canada.
You have to go through the immigration process and get permanent residency status BEFORE you move. It will take 1-3 years and cost $1,200 per person for application fees and associated costs.
IF you are married to a Canadian, then you can get a visitor visa at the border, and live in Canada while you are processing your immigration applications. On a visitor visa, you cannot work, study, or use the National Health Care, nor can you rent, get utilities, phone, etc. without a Social Insurance Number, which you get when permanent resident status is approved. To do this, you will have to show your marriage certificate to Immigration.
Also, if you get the visitor visa to live in Canada while processing your application, ONLY personal possession can be brought with you. This would be clothing and accessories, a laptop computer, and the kinds of things one would normally take on a trip. This does NOT include appliances, furniture, major electronics, etc. If you try to enter with these things, the chances are great you will have to go rent a storage facility for them on the U.S. side.
Sorry, but those are the laws, and they are enforced.
You can get all the information you need at the Canadian Immigration website, including application forms.

To answer your specific question about taking appliances across, the item will have to be inspected to see that it meets Canadian Electrical standards, and there may be duty to be paid.

I think it would be okay to bring an appliance over to our side! And at the border you would just say that you have this appliance with you, and they ask what else you have, what your purpose of visiting is (to shop, visit family or friends...) and the length of your stay. My friends went to Fargo a few months ago, strictly for Kispy Creams.... they did get searched thoroughly... no one believed them. But as long as you are honest, and not packing a gun, they ask everything they need to know

If you intend to stay more than a short vacation time you would need a visa - or work permit. Best check with the Canadian embassy or consular service nearest you in order to avoid unpleasantness

you will get a card on the airport telling you the way a lot you are able to deliver decrease back searching on how lengthy you've been away. genuinely, they hardly ever check out your bags anymore, yet in case you'll act fearful and in charge, you had more advantageous perfect stick with the criminal limits. in my opinion, i detect the limitations very beneficiant, and in no way ought to exceed them. obviously, i do not drink or smoke, and that enables.
