Re: MOT
kinda....
in bc if your around vancouver you have to get it air cared, but not in most of bc.
there is a safety inspection that the cops can send you to go get, but otherwise nothing.
i'm not sure in bc if they need the check after 10 years. and i've no idea about the rest of the nation.
but you do see some death traps driving around

Re: MOT
You know you really should state which province you are asking about. They all differ and we don't necessarily know which one you are moving to.
From Wikipedia:
From Wikipedia:
Emission testing programs in Canada include AirCare in the Lower Mainland only of British Columbia and Ontario's Drive Clean in Southern Ontario only.
Safety testing regulations vary through the different provinces. In Manitoba for example, upon buying a car (new or used), a valid safety check must be done before it can be registered. Dealerships are required to provide the buyer with a new safety, while private sellers are not (if a private seller so chooses, they may pay for, and issue a new safety in order to make it more appealing to buy). In either case, if the vehicle bought has not had a safety test within the last year, the buyer must safety the vehicle before it can be registered with autopac. From the point the car is registered, no safety test is required as long as the car remains with the current owner (however, if something goes wrong, automechanics and dealerships have the right to refuse to let the client drive out with an unsafe car).
The provinces of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island require annual safety inspections, in Nova Scotia, a safety inspection is required every two years. OntarioBritish Columbia require bi-annual emission testing, although only the Lower Mainland of BC, which includes the city of Vancouver, and the southern part of Ontario, require any testing. The rest of the province is without such legislation.

Re: MOT
Scotland has different laws to England. Tis the same thing
In Ontario there are no safety checks only an emissions test every 2 years. you can do it annually but pay extra and have it done every two years.
There are some Ministry enforcement vehicles about that have been pulling over very old rust bucket trucks but otherwise no safety stuff.
