OBO, you will have absolutely no problem driving your Mexican plated car along with your Mexican driver's licence while in Canada. You may get a few "looks" and some friendly inquiries though as it is not a common sight to see a Mexican plated vehicle in Canada (I get it all the time when visiting up there). Couple of things to remember though, you are not allowed to keep it there for more than six months. If you are coming in and out of Canada with the vehicle in under six months it is not an issue. Technically you are a "tourist" if doing this. If you plan on staying longer than six months, it is highly unlikely that you could "import" it into Canada and register it in BC. The only way it would qualify for importation is if it is on Canada's RIV list of eligible vehicles AND you updated it to comply with the Canadian regulations that were in effect at the time of its manufacture - probably at least the addition of daytime running lights, maybe more stuff. The OP is in a different situation since her car originally came from Canada and as such should still be in the province's database. You should also talk with your insurance provider here in Mexico to make sure you have the optional rider on the policy which provides liability coverage during travel through the US and Canada. If you want additional insurance coverage (such as comprehensive and collision or upset) you should contact ICBC to see if they will add this additional coverage for you.
