Hello friends,
I entered Canada on 8th Aug month to complete my landing process with COPR. The cbsa officer asked me to declare the car in the import list and pay a fee of around CAD 300. When I said I do not want to import the car, he said then the car can’t enter Canada. I thought I will just put it in the import list but won’t import it literally, because I do not have a plan to move to Canada soon. I left Canada on 11th Aug driving my car outside Canada,entering USA. But 2 weeks ago, I received an email saying your car is due inspection in canada and you need to do it otherwise it will be illegal to keep the car in Canada. I replied to that email saying the car is not in Canada. Then they asked for one of the following documents:
  • E15 CERTIFICATE OF DESTRUCTION/EXPORTATION obtained at Canadian Border Services Agency [CBSA] upon exit of the vehicle from Canada at a Canadian port of entry
  • CBP FORM 7501 U.S. ENTRY SUMMARY obtained at U.S. Customs and Border Protection upon entry of the vehicle into the U.S. at the U.S. port of entry
  • BILL OF LADING a document issued by a carrier which details a shipment of merchandise and gives title and requires a carrier to deliver the merchandise to the appropriate party
  • If the vehicle has already been exported, we may accept a notarized statement from the importer of record confirming the vehicle has been exported - the document must be specific to the date of export and contain the vehicle identification number of the vehicle [VIN].
I replied back to them telling I drove the car myself outside of Canada so what document do I provide, but I keep on getting the same email with the above mentioned documents list.

Please help me if you or anybody in your contact list has faced similar issue or know the answer. Really appreciate all the help.

Regards,
Sanjeev
