this email just came to me after I emailed the feds regarding Ontario(as iam in BC)Under Section 7(1)(b) of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act (MVSA), a motor vehicle may be admitted temporarily into Canada without complying with the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations if it is to be used exclusively by a person entering Canada as a visitor or a person passing through Canada to another country.
"Visitor" means a person who is not a resident or a temporary resident and who enters Canada for a period not exceeding 12 months.
If a Canadian citizen is bringing in a vehicle form the U.S. into Canada, they would be required to go through the Registrar of Imported Vehicles program, regardless of the length of time the vehicle is staying in Canada.

First off, this ‘email’ is from a for PROFIT private corporation NOT the CBSA who are the ones that have the legal authority to make such determinations.

Now, if you have any LEGAL citations to the contrary, please quote them........ BTW, “l’ve never seen” is NOT a legal argument.
Of course it’s also funny that such an authoritative email as the one you quoted would have such an obvious typo, you’d think the goobermint would have spell check.
