Hi All! and especially fellow Canadians!

I have read a lot about this, but still 2 things are not too clear to me (those are more related to delivering the van rather than importing it):

-if I want to drive it from the US to Canada, how is the procedure? I need a plate and insurance. This seems impossible to get for a Canadian, isn't?

- if the owner offers to drive it up North. That is solved. But when and where must the title transfer be done? Up to the customs, that fine. that is his vehicle. and he is insured for it.

Once at the custom. I must transfer it. Can we do that at the customs? Should not we need a DMV for that? I read that I need to present my title of property, etc. So I must have been through the seller's DMV first. If so, the van is mine. But can it be plated and insured for the trip then? In whose's name?

I do not know what to think. What are the best way to do this? Does anyone has some experience with this?

Am I going to rent a trailer and a pick-up to do this?

JP
