Joe, can you briefly put across what you are really looking from the mentioned url. Most of US cars are good to move to Canada, some cars require minor modification and the url you provided details the process of getting Recall clearance and other things.

From the list of items on the site the ones I have highlighted in red are the ones that are ones not always there in US cars.

. Recall clearance letter

.The vehicle must bear a manufacturer's valid U.S. Statement of Compliance (SOC) label at the time of import.

.Valid alpha-numeric 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN)

.Metric speedometer and odometer labels (provided by inspection centre)

.Daytime running lights

.Child restraint tether anchorage hardware kit

.Child restraint tether anchorage point locations (see Transport Canada's List of Vehicles Admissible from the United States)

.French supplementary restraint system label for airbags that require periodic maintenance

.Air bag equipped vehicles are required to have functioning air bags at the time of inspection.

.If the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the vehicle is less than 10,000 lbs. and the manufacture date is after September 1, 2007, it must be equipped with an electronic immobilizer system that meets Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 114.

Sr Members need your help...

How are ppl managing with Alberta Address? I am on H1b, to get a month leave would be really tough; So what would be my options?

Since I am in Miami i will have to do one of the below

1) fly to Alberta , rent an apartment stay there with family for 6 weeks approx (currently CIC is processing New PR Cards in 27 Business days, http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-card.asp ) , apply SIN & Health Insurance and come back whenever i get all 3. But my fear is it might take longer than 6 week.

2) fly to alberta , stay in hotel finish landing and come back with the forms telling i will come back later.

with option 2 how long will i have time to go back?? Cant i even apply for SIN & health Insurance??Will i have to medicals again when i want to go back?
