Can I drive my car without importing it?

Hi all,

I am planning to drive to Canada but because my PR will expire soon after I enter, I'm not sure of my length of stay.

Do I "have" to import my car during entry? Can I do it within 30 days of being in BC once I have a better sense of my long term plans?

I don't want to import a car especially if it was for a temporary period. I'm just wondering if the border agents will not allow me or if I will have trouble importing it later(I will likely not be returning to US since PR card would have expired)?

Can I do a temporary export/import as a PR?

Thanks much in advance!
