Importing vehicle and change of status from temporary to PR

[bluedot]

I have lived in Canada for two years as temporary worker and finally received my CoPR form
But my question is, what do I have to do with my car now? Currently it still has a US title. Since my status was only temporary I didn't need to do the full importation procedure and most importantly was exempted from the import tax.
I guess I have to pay the tax now, when I go to my landing appointment??? Or do I have time until the end of my temporary work permit?

Second, somewhat related question:
My car is actually Canadian. I bought it used and the previous owner had it imported from Canada to the US. Any idea, whether that would save me the tax?

You will get a $10000 exemption. Better check with CBSA.

Hi Bluedot,
