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).

Thanks for replying. I was told the same thing by an RIV agent - that they wouldn't have told me it was admissible, but they are lying. Just saw the CBC National news segment. Law suits are happening. A government minister said he would do something to solve this mess. Wonder how long it will take?

I am not sure what will happen but I was able to register and insure my Sienna today (Nov 20th). Given how disorganized this process is between the various agencies, my bet is that I won't hear back from not getting a clean Form 2 for a longtime if ever. There are thousands of vehicles crossing and a major lack of consistency in administration, I would be surprised if such a dysfunctional process can coordinate getting vehicles back to the US.....
