Nope. The car is deregistered personal property.
You now take those documents and the federal form 1 ( recieved after customs inspection) and register the car in your province.
The transfer of ownership is the bill of sale and the export certificate.
They will only give you a temp. As you need a out of province inspection, etest and Insurance.
Your insurance need to add your 11-digit vin to the exemption table / list
So the ministry of transport can complete the registration and issue a validation sticker.
This is so our vehicle is added to all systems without the short vin being dismissed as an error.

If it being Ontario registered a certified mechanic has to inspect it.
1. A federal inspection - at the docks by customs - form 1
2. A provincial inspection - in Ontario - for a vehicle coming into Ontario from outside the province
Called " out of province" inspection.
It’s just like a safety but more in-depth
As they need to check glass tires lights etc for dot cert.
Most are fine in Ontario.

The standard vin is 17 a Jdm is 11 so your short vin , until entered into a special exemption list,
It won’t be accepted for a validation sticker. And you’ll be pulled over by every cop who runs your plate
Because it won’t be attached correctly In the system

The form 1 happens during the custom inspection at the dock
Who ever is doing the customs brokerage should be tAking care of all that.
You just pay and accept delivery.
Have you got your customs brokerage and inland vehicle transport all lined up?

That’s what I was thinking then.
But what are you paying Japan to Halifax?
And how much shipping time?
When I ship my cars I go from Japan to bc
About 100,000y or about $10xx.xx
Plus 1500.00 ( rough est. ) bc to gta
$2,500.00 shipping total

Well lets see the final quote livingston has for me.
I might have to shop around this week.
---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------
I know why it was different.
In 2010 I shipped via train. This year they quoted me the truck price.
1500.00 is the truck price abr quoted
1175.00 is the train price.
That’s about what I was quoted by livingston last time.
So my Japan to bc should be under 100,000 yen
And my bc to ont is 1175.00
2175.00
June 20 - July 2/4 at sea
7 days of clearance
July 9th-11th pick up
2-3 day for loading
10-12 days via train
In Ontario by July 26th about 35 in transit.

Ya there’s a couple of possible reroutes they could use I looked them up on a map.
But yes the Canmore railway that goes though Calgary is no good

It depends on customs. They have cleared as fast as 48-72 hrs but I’ve heard it taking 2 weeks before
On average I allow 5-7 days.

All the reviews online for abrtransport say they are a scam.
That they never deliver and they steal your money
Livingston quote bc to ont ( door to door )
$1772.68
You get what you pay for I guess

so i did some checking on ABR trasport and you’re right they’re not reliable, so got a quote from livingston
Vehicle Description: Mazda RX7
Option# 1: Terminal to Terminal: Halifax - Vaughan $808.92
Option# 2: Door to Door: Halifax – Brampton $1,032.70
Now I have a question, assuming I pick option 2, will they take car of all the paper work for me if or do I have to hire a customs broker for that? and if not do you know any good broker I use.

You can use them to do your paperwork to its pricey look around
Door to door is what you want. Other wise some has to bring your car from the dock to the trains yard
