Looking to import 2002 TT from US with stage 3 mods. Technically according to RIV it is not admissible, since not OEM. if it was 15 years old to the month it would be , since not regulated. I know cars are entering Canada with mods, am just wondering if someone has experience they could share to explain process. How did they get it into Canada, and did they have to do any modification back to original spec to get it approved.

 

That is odd. I imported a salvage titled 2008 VW R32 in 2011. The only thing I needed to legally import it into Canada to comply to its safety standards was child seat anchor in the rear seat. The speedometer was both in MPH and KMH, so I didn't even have to change that. I got it safety inspected at Speedy to get it tagged and it passed with flying colors because everything worked. They didn't check for any kind of aftermarket stuff, so I don't know why that would be an issue on the car you wish to import.
