Dwelling? Take it up with your insurance .
Well there's another issue. A buddy of mine, who by coincidence lives not too far from you, got a nasty surprise when his insurance broker told him he couldn't have insurance on his new-to-him motorhome he'd just imported from the US until he had it certified as CSA Z240 compliant.
When he objected and pointed out they'd ALREADY insured it (for the drive home) they apologized and stated he was lucky he'd not had an accident since the insurance on it was VOID. Under the Insurance Act of Canada it's not legal for Canadian insurance co's to offer insurance on vehicles owned and / or registered outside of Canada.
How did they NOT know he was not driving it North?
I had asked my insurance broker about this and was told I had approx 5 days to get a rig(RV) back to Canada from the US with temp insurance. I have no idea if that applies to motor vehicles but I would not be surprised if I asked that I could get that as well. As I said, it was temp insurance. The unit had to be in Canada in less than a week.
