Unfortunately, TC has neither the manpower or the budget to have TC conducting all actual inspections for vehicles manufactured for the Canadian market. Thus they rely on certification to come from the manufacturers. I believe the manufacturers are telling them that the immobilizer is built right into the core of each automobile's electronics and as such they cannot and apparently will not certify anything other than that which they have included in manufacturing. It appears that what used to be a money-saving, labour-saving process is now working against consumers.

Your right, It was a verbal statement from RIV, although I have read quite a few notes here on this forum where people have gotten through with the Honda owners link letter of recall.

It's been a very productive day. We thank you for all the e-mails and it is producing results. You all saw the piece in the Globe & Mail today, interviews with several of our team. We are also had several CBC Radio TV interviews todathis across the country. Great job - media team. Here is another solid advancement - thanks to lighting speed efforts from George Favvas and Callum Macdonald from Reflexity, we have a brand new secure web site made for you. There is still work to do on the site, but we will be asking you to go and log your story with data, name, car model, dates etc. We want to gather data that we will use with the media, RIV, governments.
 
1st goal - get plates for everybody who is in Canada and victim of RIV flipflops.
2nd goal - solve immobiliser issue for all and then ....we'll see. maybe princing?
 
P.S. First story on the CBC the National tonight great job Bon Lamb and the team.
 
Keep up the pressure - write MP.s - Minister Cannon, check the new web site.

Good work everybody.
 
The CBC report was excellent in making it clear that RIV kept changing their lists and also got Minister Cannon to make a statement

Lets be real this is about you and not the thousands of current Honda owners whose resale value is dropping as a result of your own personal motives. Enjoy for Ford!

Any chance you would be willing to provide a copy of the amnesty letter? I bought a 2008 SIenna in mid-October and imported it on the 9th of November, based on the assurance RIV provided that all purchases prior to November 1st would be admissable. Turns out the folks at RIV have amnesia and refuse to send my Form 2.
 
I was able to register my Sienna without my Form 2, further proof that none of these agencies have a clue what is going on (provincial, federal or CBSA).
