    Car Import from USA to Canada - Goods to Follow

    Well, you need an actual VIN# in goods to follow list so I don't think that's feasible. You need to actually own the car to put it on the goods to follow listing. As to how long, I assume you can find that information via Google.

    Seems most tend to stay in their trucks.....they're not out and about on holiday. COVID-19: Truckers hauling to the U.S. rarely leave their vehicles, remain exempt from testing

    "Herd immunity" unlikely to happen without robust vaccine distribution. Meanwhile, (double) mask up and stay the course.... despite having been vaccinated, I will continue to do so. What If We Never Reach Herd Immunity? Hitting the threshold might actually be impossible. But vaccines can...

    Some issues with the data regarding post-vaccine transmission is also due to the fact that the studies only examined period between first and second dose.....as the previous poster notes, with more information/data it will become clearer that full vaccination does indeed stem the transmission of...

    Well, they could limit land border crossings to those with Canadian personally registered vehicles....to prevent people from trying to circumvent (some of the) rules. Again, understanding that 14 day quarantine remains a requirement regardless. I used Air BNB in September since I had stuff...

    You will receive email confirmation of receipt of ITN by US customs as I recall....US customs has to be notified 72 hours in advance of your intent to cross (good info here, just follow the steps: https://www.riv.ca/USCustoms.aspx )....the U.S. side of things was the most time-consuming for...

    Oh well....what will be, will be. I had no choice but to go to the states and I will have to return to BC driving my personal vehicle, probably in early March. I will have been fully vaccinated, but if they make me go to a hotel....after testing and vaccine, so be it.

    There will be added testing requirements for land crossings (already require quarantine). At airports they can make people get onto buses to go to hotels....whereas I think for people driving across there won't be the same hotel requirements...

    I think it's different for land crossing. I'm hoping to drive across, have the ArriveCan app filled out, then proceed to my apartment in Vancouver. They did call me multiple times during my last quarantine to check on me....

    I imported my Subaru (worth 20k) in September when I moved to Canada. It was listed on my initial goods to follow list when I landed in late October 2019. I did not need to pay any GST taxes on the car only a $195 registrar fee.

    Maintaining the US phone number in Canada

    I have an iPhone. I kept my US ATT service (unlimited calls/text/data in Canada) and also have a separate Canadian number on same phone. Only pay $15 for that. IPhones allow you to have two lines. It works great. Easy for my family to call me from US and much cheaper re: data use than...
