QUESTION:
I am a Canadian citizen, primary residence in Ontario. I own a home in
Florida and spent winter from mid November to May. . less than 6 months in
Florida.
I plan to lease a vehicle and licence it in Florida.
Will I have problems with Canadian officials on entering Canada with this
vehicle. Vis a vis Ontario sales tax, transport Canada, Customs and Excise
if I bring the vehicle to Canada for the summers.
I have been unable to get a clear response to this question from the
Canadian government who seem to only deal with importing purchased vehicles.
your advise will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

If you are a Canadian "resident" You can NOT bring a US registered vehicle
into Canada to drive unless you have paid the full import duties on the
vehicle. You CAN lease a vehicle in Canada and take it to the US if you are
a Canadian resident.
