I have a Honda Accord Car in the US and will be landing as a Permanent Residend
in Canada.

Could some one clarify this:

1. I called up Canada Customs, they said I have to pay 7% GST even though I will be
landing as a pemanent resident ??? (Am I not eligible to bring it without duties
and taxes as in "settlers effects" ?)

2. Who has to stamp the title of the car ? The car's title is clear as stated in a
letter from the banker of the original owner. The car has not yet been registered
in my name, but the owner has assigned the title to be transferred in my name. Do
I still have to get it registered here (in USA) in my name ?

3. Which one is a trucks border ? (where I can save $100).

4. Also the car does not have daytime running lights, what is the best place to get
it installed ? It is a Honda Accord 2000 model (4 door sedan).Earlier somebody
suggested to my husband (in this NG) that Canadian Tire is the most economical,
but I have called up four of their stores, and they have no idea
!!!!.

Thanks very much in advance for all your help.

Manisha.
