do I need to pay off my car before landing?

[canadian/irish]

I did the exact same,i paid mine off with a loan from my family as if i could have afforded to i would have never financed in the first place.Then when we brought it to Canada, i got a loan from Royal Bank from a US credit report,and there you have it.
Paid my family back and have the same payments as i did before well a little less.

Hi all,
Well, I called my credit union where I have my car financed and they said that if I add my parents (who live in the same town as the bank and have been customers there for 25 years!) as co-signers on the loan, they would have no problem giving me permission to take the car to Canada while still financing it. The loan officer there said that she would be happy to write me a letter to this effect.


This is from the RIV website:

For a vehicle that is leased or financed, contact the financing/leasing company to determine if the vehicle can be exported to Canada. You will need to provide the Certificate of Title (original or a copy) for the vehicle and an original letter from the financing/leasing company that identifies the vehicle and VIN, and authorizes the import into Canada. Please contact the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) at 1-800-461-9999 (within Canada) or 204 983-3500 (outside of Canada) for more information about importing U.S. leased or financed vehicles into Canada.

So it seems like if I can get a copy of the title from my bank and a letter, I should be OK, right???
Thanks
