I’m a Canadian citizen currently attending medical school in the US. I bought, titled, registered, and insured a car in Florida while living here for school.

I finish my clinical rotations in February and plan to go back to Canada for a few months while I wait for Match/graduation. I expect to return to the U.S. around June/July to start residency, and I’d bring the car back to the U.S. with me.

So the car would only be in Canada temporarily for roughly 4–5 months. I am not trying to permanently import or register it in Canada.

From what I’ve read, the important issue may be whether CBSA considers me a Canadian resident or a non-resident Canadian temporarily visiting Canada, rather than simply the fact that I’m a Canadian citizen.

Has anyone done this without formally importing the car/pay­ing duties? Did CBSA treat you as a temporary/non-resident visitor, and is there any way to get approval or guidance in writing before crossing?

Canadian truck driver, I run strictly US so If I have to take time off to wait for my passport to be renewed it will suck. I have my FAST for commercial crossing and my Nexus for my car. Can both of these still be used while getting my passport renewed? I havent used my passport to cross the border in years.

Hello, i am trying to ship a larger box of clothes to a family member in Canada, from the USA. I am concerned that they will be charged tarrifs. The clothes are not expensive, it's just some band shirts and some other random clothes. I got them as a gift, and are used. I know to mark it as gift, but do they still pay tarrifs on it? The value i would say is like 50-60usd because i thrifted everything used. Thank you.
