Where to start Importing a Car into Canada

So you want to Import a Car into Canada? Where do you start? What do you need to know? How can you prepare?

If you are researching this on the internet you already way ahead of where I was when I started. I didn’t even think about the ramifications of showing up at the border with my car and not being prepared.

In hindsight I have tried to research everything we learned after importing our car. There were lots of sites that gave some basic information on importing a car, but nothing that gave comprehensive results on everything you need to know from start to finish.

You will probably find that most of the sites out there are actually government sites. Sites like:

Transport Canada
or
Registrar of Imported Vehicles

These sites have some fantastic information but fail to tell you what you really need to know about saving money! In fact, from our experience, we ended up paying over $2,000 in fees we didn’t have to pay!

It is like the quote says "knowledge is power". If you prepare to import your car you can and will save time and money. There aren’t a lot of resources out there that are comprehensive but you should get a good feel about what to "expect".
