How to Import a Car into Canada

Importing a Car into Canada

My wife and I recently imported a car into Canada from the States. We thought it would be a fairly straight forward process. We were wrong. We ended up having to spend over $4,000 to import our car and it was a nightmare from start to finish.

If you are thinking about importing a car into Canada we would encourage you to do your research! This will save you TONS to time and literally save you thousands of dollars. After we had imported our car I tried to research the internet for information that would have helped us get this done. There really wasnt a lot out there. Sure there were a few sites that give little snippets of what to do and what not to do, but nothing really spelt it out from start to finish.

I guess if you have hours and hours to burn you could definitely get a good feel for what to expect if you got everything out there together. My wife and I decided to document our whole experience and highlight exactly how, where, and when you can save time and money.

I will be posting more here soon to help you get started. In the meantime I recommend you check out the website my wife and I created to help people get started and learned what NOT to do when Importing a car into Canada.
