Not if you dont intend to return. But if the law passes for good, you wont be able to bring the car back into the province.

It's still a bit fuzzy to my liking though. Like why the hell are they still talking about the 180 days? This is supposed to be the permanent one. I'm so confused.

Used JDM (Japanese domestic market) cars enter Canada under a loophole allowing vehicles 15 years old and older into the country without inspection.

That's some pretty nice reporting right there.

It's like saying that I have bypassed my way past laws, and gone through a loophole, to get my morning coffee at Tim Hortons in the morning.

[love_boost]

im sorry to say but i have a feeling this law is going to soon be canada wide.
from when i first insured my RHD vehicle to know alot of stuff has been changing, i could get full coverage and extensions on inspection but now no inspection and no full coverage not even natural disasters... not to mention the pain of trying to get one insured nowadays.
