You don't have to show any proof of payment. Once the title is in your name you are good to start the export-import process. RIV and threads on this forum will be your best guide (https://www.riv.ca/) When you say recently got PR; have you landed in Canada? If you are yet to land make sure you...

Short answer is NO. Generally if there is lien on the vehicle you need to ask the financial institution for permission which is hard to get. Also there will be complications at the US border when you try to export as they expect a title to be in your name. The best solution would be to pay off...

If the car is manufactured in US or Mexico there will be no duty because of NAFTA trade deal. Did you declare your car in the goods to follow list? If yes, then no taxes have to be paid. If no, then you pay taxes that is determined using bill of sale (so the full amount).

For those of you who recreated your profile with higher funds, what did you enter for the question: Has <name> applied to IRCC before? Yes or No?

You cannot register your car in Canada without having the proper import paperwork. Sorry to break that to you :( When you import a car to Canada, you will have forms (https://www.riv.ca/Home.aspx) that must be stamped by CBSA. Those forms need to be presented to vehicle licensing authority in...

Need more clarity on this. Is the car now registered in Canada or still has US plates? I imagine you were not able to register the car without importing it? The thing to remember is the 72 hour notice that you have to give the CBP before you go there for export formality. Folks have had...

Assuming you were first licensed in Texas, the date you were first issued the license is highly beneficial. Check if the certified abstract has that. Make a copy of the abstract as when you apply for your license they will keep it. You can provide the copy to the insurance agent when you apply...

I don't think you can avoid paying a visit to US customs before importing your vehicle. It's a straight forward process though. They will stamp your vehicle title and at least for me the CBSA officer did ask if I did the export formalities on the US side. I would recommend...

Even I've crossed a few times on weekends without an issue. Say what you intend to do. From shopping, dinner at a restaurant, etc.

I'm assuming you have completed safety inspection as that is required for registration. I had to pay approx CAD 220 for registration (sticker, plates, etc).

Still 1900 CAD is a lot. I was not paying that much even as a brand new driver in the US. But anyway you can’t get everything. Canada seems more stable place to live.

Thanks bad. Insurance is Canada is so expensive! Especially comparing with the US.I was able to get my full G license and insurance. Just need to register my car, hopefully on Monday

Hey All. For registering car do I need utility bill to show proof of residence or is lease enough.

I'm just wondering if that lease is used as standard. Their lease does not have anything glaringly wrong with it; except a clause of not having pets. Just wanted to know what is used out there.

There is a standard lease here- https://www.ontario.ca/page/renting-ontario-your-rights Do landlords follow that? Shall I insist as there is an apartment I'd like to rent asap.

Folks, Are landlords following the standard lease given here- https://www.ontario.ca/page/renting-ontario-your-rights I was about to go rent an apartment and just saw this. I spoke to the landlord and he was like we have had no issue with the lease that they have. Your thoughts?

When I entered Canada using my passport I noticed that I could see exit records in the online I94. However, when I entered recently on PR card I dont see an exit in the I94. I also renewed my passport; however I do see the new passport linked to my I94 based on my previous travel. Is this how it...

HR will probably ask manager to provide duties. I was in the same situation last year. I eventually did tell my boss and she did not pose any problems

When you get a Canadian temporary license; can you drive across the border for work/leisure using that? How did you go about car insurance?

Hey Folks, I've been irritated at myself for missing several things before importing my car (Canadian PR holder here). Just wanted to cross check all the docs that are needed; please let me know if I'm missing anything- 1) For Ontario full G license; drivers record from DMV of the state where...
