We never did- just showed up with the car full and went in to get the student visa (you do need to have the CAQ and all the required info and the $$$).
If you are going to leave stuff in Quebec you need to know the values, but if you are brining items in as a student and plan to bring them home again there are no questions. Overall, we have found that US customs is MUCH more difficult and bureaucratic and mean-spirited, getting back into the US, than the Canadian border officials.
