Moving to Canada soon
Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I will be changing my address to Toronto Canada.
Among a miriad of questions I have, the prevailing is, "where I can get any info about radicating my USA car in Canada?"
"Do I need to make any mod for their transit code?"
Please, if anybody can help. it will be gladly appreciatted

20 years of heat, humidity, storms and hurricanes make me think about a change....
Hopefully soon, the final papers from Canada will arrive and the home will sell.
I really thank you for the info, and soon Oakville will have a new vette roaming around. (besides tne Ontario plates are better match for my car color)

I just bought a SSR in the US and will be picking it up in Saturday and driving it back to Calgary next week.
You should be able to get yours in with no problems without paying duty or GST. You will need to fill out some forms and get it inspected but it should not be a big deal. No mods required for C5 but if you had a C6 you would need to change the front bumper.

Craig, I hear ya about the hurricanes...but its like going to your sisters place and playing with your niece and nephew...you get to have fun but get to leave when they start all the bad stuff
We've always missed the hurricanes but I can only imagine what they're like based on the stories we here from the locals (and the damage from the year before)
That aside, South Florida, especially the WPB-Ft Lauderdale strip is one of the nicest places on this round thing we call earth
