I believe that this 6 month period is from when you got your provisional/temporary residency, but I am not 100% certain on that. And yes the goods must arrive before your 6 month window is up.

This also begs the question for many people starting residency now since they will have provisional/temporary residency for 5 years under the new regulations before they can apply for permanent residency. The only way it would make sense for them to be granted a shipment duty free would be during the first 6 months of provisional/temporary residency. What sense would there be in having to wait 5 years until you have permanent residency to bring in your items and perhaps a vehicle at no or reduced duty?

Keep in mind that the items you import are not supposed to be brand new, but ones you are moving from your existing home.
