Re: Canadian kit car laws

Dave,

In short:

The Federal Government of Canada prohibits the importation of completed and unbuilt kit cars into canada unless the completed car is over 15 years old. Unbuilt kits are not allowed regardless of age.

Parts, bodies, chassis etc. ARE, but not all together from one source at one time. There are people who have found legal ways and it is a lot of effort, but possible. Others have tried breaking the rules with various levels of success.

Each province has their own specific registration requirements to obtain a licence plate, but it usually comes down to having a safe vehicle with proper lights, brakes, wipers etc. This info is usually available from Provincial Government websites.

Good luck!
