CBSA obviously is who you contact. You might be able to do it at an inland port without having to cross over to the US (if the car has already been exported from the US and you have proof), but you will have to ask them about that. Ask them if you need to do an entirely new Vehicle 1 form or if...

You can permanently import it without having PR status, but I think you will be on the hook for taxes, duties, RIV, etc. unless you meet the requirements to have it imported as "settler's effects," which I am not sure you can do if you have already established a residence in Canada, unless you...

You have to permanently import it into Canada. You have to enter into the RIV program, unless it is more than 15 years old. In other words, you have to do it all over again. As far as taxes and duties, I think you are going to be on the hook for those also, unless you can get the car entered as...

Yes, you will need to fully import it at the border before you can legally sell it in Canada or use it once you become a PR. As to whether or not you have to pay taxes, duties, etc, you can declare it as settler's effect when you land and escape taxes and duties but not the RIV (unless it is now...

Not if it wasn't properly imported. It would be a huge customs violation and yes it is possible to have a fully registered, titled and insured car in the US that wasn't properly imported for customs purposes.

Look at the Vehicle Form 1 they gave you at the border when you landed in 2013, what does it say? Was it entered as the vehicle of a temporary resident or as "settler's effects"? Was the vehicle officially exported from the U.S.? Its still not clear to me if the car was manufactured for the US...

http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/motorvehiclesafety/safevehicles-importation-visitors-faq-1336.htm "I have received temporary residency visa for Canada to study or work. May I bring my personal vehicle without having to formally import it? Declaring a vehicle is optional for temporary residents. It is...

Did you import the vehicle back in 2013 or no? If not, the problem now is that you may have already violated the Customs Act and/or provincial law by keeping the car in Canada so long without officially importing it and may be subject to fines and or seizure of the vehicle when you try to...

Border officers really don't care about pets in my experience. They might ask for a rabies vaccine certificate. Make sure you have that. Be careful with pet food though: You aren't supposed to bring anything containing lamb, mutton, venison, bison, and something else I forget across the border...

What are the consequences of withdrawing a citizenship application? If you apply again, you might face additional scrutiny, like an RQ, but that is really about it. I have no idea what politics are like in your home country, but if dual citizenship were not forbidden when you acquired it...

None of them. :p

Whatever you do, don't use a Po Box on any US Customs or Census forms, was told it could be up to a $15K fine or some such draconian amount. Use a physical address.

Read your policy thoroughly. Cheapest might not be the best. Some policies deny benefits if you leave for four days and don't have someone check you premises daily. Hardly anyone realizes this until they have a claim denied and realize they have been paying premiums for nothing.

You need to consider a few more things: 1.) What is your family's immigration status in the US? Do they hold visas as well? Admission to the US is always at the discretion of the CBP officer at the port of entry regardless of visa status. If the particular officer you draw decides your...

Worse case scenario, you may need to attest to his identity in front of a judge or something. Once you get it worked out, make copies of all his IDs and vital documents and keep them safe yourself.

She shrunk or she grew. It happens.

You are welcome

Your car probably already has a metric speedometer and odometer does it not? Daytime running lights is a simple modification done at Canadian Tire for maybe $200 if you don't have those already.

Canada doesn't care if you have another country's citizenship. It will treat you as if you are only Canadian (after repeal of the citizenship stripping measures in the Cons citizenship act amendments). Dual citizenship is a legal fiction as far as Canada is concerned. That said, cross a border...

I don't think the analogy works. There was an entire political campaign about the issue of post-oath residency intentions just a couple of years ago and it was decided in favor of it doesn't matter.
