1. You need to find out if the car you want to buy is admissible into Canada. You can find this information at http://www.riv.ca/english/html/how_to_import.html.

2. If you want to pick up your car at the US boarder and drive it to Canada yourself then you will have to fax your car’s Certificate of Title to the US Customs post from where you plan to enter Canada. The customs office will need at least three days to process your title and allow for exporting the car to Canada, so make sure that this process gets completed at least three to four days before you reach the border. You will only be allowed to take your car through the customs post to which you have sent your documents. When leaving, you will have to get your Certificate of Title stamped for export by U.S. Customs. (in some boarders you have to send the original documents. www.ExportUSCars.com will provide you with all the necessary document that you’ll need to import your car to Canada)

3. you need to obtain a manufacture "proof of recall clearance document", since this will be required to register your car in Canada, contact www.ExportUSCars.com for more details

Once you enter Canada, you will have to pass through the Canadian Customs office, where you will be required to produce your car’s Certificate of Title and Bill of Sale, duly stamped for export by the US Customs Office. You will also be required to pay certain taxes—GST-7%, Excise Tax-CAD$100 and other fees if applicable. Either have cash ready or enough money on your credit card to pay at least $300 or so apart from the GST. You will be given Form 1 of the Vehicle Import Form, which you will need to get your car registered in Canada

5. Once in Canada, you will have to get your vehicle undergo both a safety as well as a vehicle emission inspection.

6. You will be sent Form 2 –Vehicle Import Form in the mail after about 15 days of entering Canada. You will be required to take the Form 1 and Form 2 of the Vehicle Import Form and the "proof of recall clearance document" to a federal inspection center that will check whether your vehicle confirms to Canadian vehicle standards and will be recommended changes or additions if required.
