Yes you'll have to get your car registered in Canada and pay for insurance in Canada. Yes your insurance is likely be more expensive. Really depends on what province and often the city.

You will need to show over 25K to be able to even apply to a Canadian school. Your best bet is to work for a while in your home country and return to finish your degree in your home country. You'll have to look into possible ways to immigrate to Canada. Most do not qualify after 1 degree and with no work experience.

What will be the over all process to get car from USA to Canada when person is moving to Canada on work visa for a year ?

There are lots of posts about importing cars. You'll have to search. Definitely not as simple task.
