Hello, complicated question. I will try to provide as much details as possible.
I am a Canadian Citizen with Dual Citizenship in the US. My wife is an American. In Sept 2021 we moved to Ontario. '
Our car is financed out of Arizona through a US financial institution. Arizona is not a title hold state, so we do not have the tittle in hand. The financial institution we are paying the loan on has the title, and can only release a non-official copy to us. We did however get permission from the finance institution to bring the car across the boarder into Canada, and presented that note to the boarder when we arrived..
The Loan on the Car is in both our names.
We successfully imported the Vehicle to Canada at the Canadian boarder and paid the import fees and taxes, which was quite a bit. During that process, the US officer and the Canadian officer explained I still needed to export the Vehicle from the US.
Since I have imported the Vehicle, I have gotten it inspected and registered in Ontario (paying more fees for the inspection and registration).
I am still unclear how to go about exporting our financed vehicle from the US. Or if it is even necessary.
Any help or guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. We just want to make sure we are doing everything correctly.
Thank you!
