No, because you don't stop at the US border going North.

Is this only if he brings his car that he needs to stop at US border? What about if he wants to bring furniture, computer,TV and etc when he moves, does he also need to stop at US Border?

Nope, doesn't have to stop, only cars as they have to be exported.

I have not migrated to Canada yet, Z.
if your car's papers (registration, insurance, license plates) are current, just donate it to a charity.
End of story. Otherwise you may have to pay disposal fees

I know this is not my topic but this question is related to it. Ok, I'm out of status in the U.S. but the principal applicant and owner of the car is my partner (a U.S. Citizen) would I get in trouble if we export the car since I'll be with her.

tgurl,

I think I am almost in the same situation as you are. Could you provide the timeline for your process?

thanks.

Hello everyone.


I am almost in same situation as Z4U2. In my case my wife is an American Citizen and I have overstayed my visa. The car is under her name.

Can she go by herself to export the car at the US customs & border and then come back to pick me up? I do not want to take any chances.

Can we just drive through the Canadian immigration and later export the car when we are already in Canada?

Does anyone know what are the fees associated in exporting a used car?

Are the fees any different comparing to a Canadian citizen wanting to buy a car from the US and then bring back home to Canada?


Hello Everyone!
