SoldierofSilence is right, Canadian custom can hold anything they want. Once I had to pay duty and tax even tho I used EMS as shipping method. In their eyes shipping methods do not affect the tax calculation. As long as you mark the parcel as gift and its value is less than $60, you don't need to pay for the tax. Somehow, it may affect the time length they hold your parcel. From my experience, they have never held on the items for more than a day if I used EMS.

Wow... that's very very long. I've never encountered that (touch wood again...). This is actually the first time they've held my item for that long (which is a week long).
