You really need to read the RIV guidelines. The province of Ontario will not even let you register the vehicle or provide a license plate until the unit is brought up to Canadian standards.
I admit I know nothing about Ont prov law But the RIV guidelines are federal and have nothing to do with provincial rules or regulations
when you import a MH into Canada the border agent will collect gst and also pst if required by province you want to register in.
The federal government will then send you a list of things that VEHICLE is required to conform to federal regulations.You do these things and then you go to Canadian tire to have it inspected for these items only.After that RIV will send you a Canadian Statement of Compliance (SOC) label with instructions on where to affix it to your vehicle.
What the province requires you to then register in that province has no bearing on the importation into Canada
IN BC there is nothing else required except a provincial MV safety inspection regarding the power train, lites, air bags etc
and RIV does not suggest in any way at all that Ontario requires this "special cdn compliance deal ? I have no idea where anyone dreamed that up
