    Exporting/Importing Vehicle - US to Canada ONLY!

    Not sure but I also don’t understand this question as it comes up often, if you drive down to USA you are probably on Canadian plates (legally registered), I don’t think they stop every Canadian car thinking it could be a US car LoL. Additionally when you register in CAnada you submit your US...

I came on work permit and hence the temporary import, I dont think you can do a temporary import when you are on PR. I was on work permit and...

    car: export from US / import into Canada

    Do after PR LoL, basically your vehicle has same validity as whatever your status is, if you are temporary the vehicle is temporary, if your WP is extended the vehicle's validity is also extended. Dont go without a change in your status. Btw I read the Receipt that he gave me on addition to the...

    car: export from US / import into Canada

    Yes, I was surprised as well, I don't know if that's because of the age of the car(its a 2011) or some undocumented rule where a car is bought genuinely under temporary condition and then the situation becomes permanent. I don't think you need to go to same office, it just should be a customs...
