That's it, it's an easy process, I've done it. The only thing that sucks is that the USD/CAD exchange rate is so bad right now it really diminishes a lot of the benefit.

There must be some gems hiding there but definitely not a ton of them.

Kinda off topic, but is a brand new Sparco F200 seat with slider rails for $700 a decent deal?

I drove a car back from Tennessee, Temp tags were about $30 and my ICBC binder was about $50 it wasn’t much. As I recall, the RIV fee covered the inspection. I paid for an OOP inspection on a car I bought from Ontario because no RIV fee paid. I could be wrong on that for a US import though, it was about 10 years ago I did it. I didn’t have to pay for an ITN number or recall clearance letter. Quote:

Dirt cheap rebuilt NSX in Laval QC, could probably grind them down another 5K.
They have pictures of the damage before repair according to the listing. 2003 Acura NSX 3.2 - Laval $55,000 | autoTRADER.ca

Outback has 195k while the legacy is only at 100k, could be worth the 1k more if it all checks out.

At what point do you walk away from a car with some accident history?
Drove a car tonight. 16 years old, clean title. Drives nice and 100% stock. Ran Carproof and has a $3000 claim from 2017 and a $4400 claim from 2018. This is on a ~4K car. Been keeping an eye out for a while and this was the cleanest I’ve seen. But I mean... it’s a car I’d like to keep for years.
Hold out for an even cleaner one? Or keep it and track rat it if need be
