There is three ways to get a foreign car in to Canada.

1 - U.S.A.
2 - Military - soldiers are allowed to take their car and come back with
what they like
3 - People immigrating - there is a VW Polo that is owned by a friend of
mine.  He bought it off of some Spanish fellow.

Personally if I were to import a car I would get something unique like the
Syncro Golf County or the Syncro Rallye Golf, VW LT Camper or a 16" Syncro
Caravelle
