My understanding is that as a non-resident one can bring a Mexican plated car into Canada. If still deemed a resident then it would be considered importation of said vehicle which , again as I understand it, would not be allowed because it is a Mexican vehicle without the necessary emissions standards.
Thank you for the reply. I consider myself a non-resident of Canada since I have no ties there anymore( the gov't might think differently,I know). I live here and just work for 4 to 5 months a year up there. I have written the government but have had no reply so far. Again , thanks for your advice.
I own a Mexican plated car and would like to drive it to Canada this spring when I return to work. Does anybody know the legalities of this? I have an FM3 and plan on getting my Jalisco driver's licence. Will I be taxed at the border for "importing" a car or will I be able to claim that I am a non-resident and just drive through? Will I have to apply for non-resident status before I head north? Any help with this would be appreciated.
