wrajinder I'm sure your are right however when I go to riv.ca and click english and then clicked on "Transport Canada's List of Vehicles Admissible from the United States" and then clicked on "List of Vehicles Admissible from the United States -PDF format" Iget the list but when I went to section 3 it gave me the un-revised version.
 
I have tried on three computers in this house and cannot get to the revised version showing the RAV 4 acceptance. I know I had this morning. Please give me the link. Thanks.

Funny? For SUV you have to see section 5.4 not section 3. which only for passenger cars. I think you are getting crazy over here? best of luck

I've called the RIV and called etc and then yesterday they said oh, we have you in the computer for FORM 1 - but we do not have a recall letter. To which I said you accepted it 3 weeks ago - he found it somewhere over there and said ok this needs to go to the supervisor tomorrow. Today at noon I received an e-mail saying they cannot issue the FROM 2 because they do not have the recall letter - so I faxed it in again and half an hour later I received FORM 2 with a spelling mistake in my first name - I wrote to them again and finally voila...I have a valid form 2 - this is a Prius 2008, August manufacture. So stay on the phone, send in faxes etc, it will come.
 
Last thing - papers, TC say 1000 cars without borders then why would RIV say they have 3000 to do. I suspect the numbers are much..much higher.

Wrajinder, Many, many thanks, that shows you what a day of studying how to buy a car in the USA can do to one's brain. I completely missed it was in section 5.4. I think it's time to quit!!!!!

Thanks for posting that. I had been confused over the requirement of the letter.

Hmm...let's see....volvomax earlier said immobolizer is completely ineffective against theft. Who do we go by? IBC or volvomax? Is the truth out there?! Somewhere? Anywhere?

My god...it is about time they put some clear language down....It can't get any clearer than that...

Now this clear language is fantastic...the only other piece of the puzzle I want to see is some protection for people in terms of being able to rely on the list contents remaining static for a certain period of time. It is great that such clarity has been added but based on how things have been going so far this clarity could change back to confusion in the blink of an eye...something needs to be done on this front...
 
Cheers

I like smart people...right there with ya brother...you have the same tolerance as I do...I too would be willing to get screwed for 4 - 5k....pretty sad that we as Canadians consider that okay, but I know many people who would find it acceptable to pay that premium if it meant keeping business in Canada...I not trying to be greedy...I just want to see at least some level of respect coming my way...
 
Cheers
