Read all the posts in here and in VIC.

Check with Transport Canada and Customs

I booked apx 140 hours of company time doing reseach about 15 years ago on the subject.

Unlike the US, Canada does not have loopholes in it laws on this subject.

A fifteen year old car has to meet standard too, they are different than the ones for a new car.

Read the post in VIC about the guy who tried to bring in a car for "racing on track only" and used his lawyer and still could not bring in a car.

You are a 19 year old kid ...... do the math, before you could read I put in 3 and a half week of work into this subject. Met with Transport Canada and Canada Customs and the out come was NO.

There are some ways to do it but not with Japanese cars. Some of the German cars can make it in to Canada as well as some French and Italian cars.

So go back and read all the posts, waste 140 hours doing research and then bring a car in. But remember the 140 hours I worked was at a prefessional level and I knew who to contact , name of people with phone numbers. I just did not call Transport Canada Info line but to the field workers and supervisors.

But you will not take my word for it so do your own work.

And yes I do know the loopholes to bring in a car into Canada and have posted them but I do not think you qualify.
