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.....

Extract from Mr. Lawrence Cannon tonight on the CBC the National;"
"I do want to reassure Canadians that purchased these vehicles that we are working on it and we will do the necessary due diligence to correct the issue."
Not too sure if this is a promise ?? Let's keep the pressure on.

its very very strange. 2008 toyota camry is admissible as per TC list. So i am surprised by this, Or therwise it has to be shown in inadmiisble list. I will suggest you to contact at TC by email or by fax and calrify about it. How come toyota USA is saying it is inadmissible while canadisn TC list saying it is admissible. Sonething is wrong somewhere. You must also give another call to toyota USA and clarify about it again. I just don't know what to say?

"I do want to reassure Canadians that purchased these vehicles that we are working on it and we will do the necessary due diligence to correct the issue."
Interesting but it what does it mean. Is the "issue" the fact the admissibility list wasn't updated in a timely manner and that will be corrected or is the "issue "that RIV agents give conflicting and confusing information and that will be corrected.
Yes, I am cynical when it comes to politicians and beaurocrats.
I hope Mr Cannon means TC will give an exemption to those who purchased vehicles based on RIV agents advice prior to the vehicles being officially listed as inadmissible.
And I hope this will happen without further delay. A lot of people are being needlessly stressed while they dillydally.
