Transport Canada , Government of Canada , does't want to screw over its returning subjects "oh sorry you have to leave your car " and give you a pass as it were . If you live in socialist Canada (auto insurance owned/operated by provincial government ) your home free . If you live in Alberta or Ontario I guess it would be customary to bend over your auto insurance agents desk come renewal time .

That may be a possibility. There was one fellow from Canada that had a work visa and was in the U.S. for many years. He bought a Cobra while here but when he tried to bring it home with him, was told to leave it in the U.S. because there is no way you can bring it in. He sold it before returning to Canada. Like I said,you're rolling the dice and may lose your car and your money.
