If you intend to leave them back in Canada to be used by Canadian residents, you have to pay taxes. For the cheap desktop computer, I purchased it online from Canadian Best Buy and they delivered to my brother’s house. I wanted to buy it from USA, but considering the Customs regulations, I went for online. The desktop package included eMachines T3120 AMD Sempron 3100+ 1.8GHz , 17" Flat CRT Monitor and Lexmark X2350 All-In-One Printer. Total cost was CDN $632 (I’ll get $50 back from it with mail-in-rebate). Delivery was free.

Thanks BabuBangla for your suggestion. I completely forgot about rice cooker, another must have item. Also thanks for reminding me about custom issue which I never thought before. I will rather wait about computer. Either I will buy it in Canada while I am there or I will do the same (mail order) after my visit to Canada.
bty, please share your experience after your visit to Toronto. I hope you will have some more useful advice for me after your trip.
