This section applies to a member who is posted to a place of duty outside Canada for a period of twelve months or more.

(1) (Relocation expenses) If, during the posting, a person becomes a special dependant or a dependant through marriage or commonlaw partnership to a member, including any accompanying dependent child, or by guardianship or custody of a child being granted to a member, that member is entitled to:

(a) actual and reasonable transportation expenses, including costs of authorized stopovers, for the new dependant or special dependant, by the most direct routing from the location where the person becomes a dependant or special dependant to the member's post, not to exceed the cost of travel by the most direct routing from the member's previous place of duty to the member's post; and

(b) actual and reasonable expenses for the shipment and storage of the furniture and effects of the dependant or special dependant, in accordance with paragraphs (4) and (5):
(i) in the case of a controlled move, up to the total weight entitlement applicable to the new number of occupants in the member’s household, taking into consideration any initial or subsequent shipment or storage previously authorized, or

(ii) for any other move, up to the total weight entitlement applicable to the member, taking into consideration any initial or subsequent shipment or storage previously authorized.

(2) (Time limitation) The shipment and storage of the furniture and effects is to be done immediately after marriage or after the date of eligibility, and not less than six months before the expected termination of the member's posting.

(3) (Shipment and storage not authorized) The shipment and storage of the furniture and effects will not be authorized if the place of residence of the dependant or special dependant is within the geographical area of the member’s post.

(4) (Shipment of furniture and effects) The expenses for the shipment of the furniture and effects are limited to the actual and reasonable expenses for packing, crating, cartage, transportation and unpacking:

(a) from the location where the person became a dependant or special dependant or their previous place of residence at the time of the member's change in status to the member's post, not to exceed the cost of shipment of an equivalent weight from the member’s previous place of duty to the member’s post; or

(b) from the member's previous place of duty to the member's post.

(5) (Storage of furniture and effects) Following receipt by the Approving Authority of an inventory prepared by the member, a member is entitled to payment of storage expenses, for the furniture and effects of the dependant or special dependant, not including the packing, crating and shipping expenses associated with placing the furniture and effects of the dependant or special dependant in long-term storage.
