PR - Importing Car into Canada - Tax Free

[Grace1978]

Hello,

I just got Confirmation of my PR & will be doing my landing soon. I am planning to take my vehicle from US to Canada. I've read that you need to be owner of the vehicle for minimum 1 year to be exempt from paying taxes on the vehicle which you are bringing in.

Minimum 1 year ownership means 1 year from the purchase date?

or

that is 1 year from the date when you paid off the loan for the vehicle? (I understand that vehicle need to be paid off & you should have a title)

Please advise if somebody knows, that is confusing me :

Thank You, :

Grace

One year from the date mentioned on Bill of Sale. You can settle the loan anytime and make sure you get the orginal title before you import.

Great Thank you very much for information.

Purchase date on my title is 2013 so I should be safe

OK make sure you follow the Export (from US) and Import (Into Canada) procedures correctly to avoid any delays.
