Located in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, UCanImport Publications is an educational company that teaches and/or assists Canadians with importing vehicles from the United States.
Most Canadians don't realize that, due to a market size that is approximately 12 times larger, our southern neighbours enjoy a wider choice of new and used vehicles as well as preferential pricing that can be as much as 20% to 50% LESS for the exact same models.
Amazingly, we've had a number of Canadians contact us and question if it was legal to import a vehicle from the United States! We attribute this mindset to some very effective marketing and "scare tactics" employed by the Canadian auto industry. However, not only is purchasing and importing a vehicle from the United States possible (and legal), but in most cases it makes the most financial sense.
Therefore, our mission is to empower Canadians by providing the most comprehensive and up-to-date importation resources available. We give our clients the expertise and tools to confidently explore importation from the United States as both a viable and financially-responsible alternative for their next vehicle purchase.
UCanImport Products and Services
- Importation Guide/E-newsletter Subscription

The best-selling UCanImport Importation Guide and the UCANIMPORT INSIDER monthly e-newsletter... both for a ONE-TIME fee of only $19.99! Also includes lifetime updates of the guide (updated three to four times annually).
The UCanImport Guide: "How to Import a Vehicle from the USA into Canada" provides a step-by-step overview of the ENTIRE importation process - from selecting and purchasing your vehicle right through to parking it in your driveway in Canada, fully registered and insured. The UCanImport Guide has been developed to give you the expertise and tools necessary to perform a vehicle importation quickly and efficiently while maximizing your savings. We consider the UCanImport Guide a "living document" - meaning we will continue to update it as new information is uncovered or as government or auto manufacturer requirements change. Included as part of your one-time $19.99 fee are free lifetime updates (which is why we will be calling you a "UCanImport Subscriber" after you've made your purchase).
To support the flow of information to you between UCanImport Guide updates, we will also provide you with exclusive access to the UCANIMPORT INSIDER, a monthly e-newsletter packed with updated regulatory information, articles from our Premier Partners, money and/or time-saving tips, as well as valuable insights from fellow UCanImport Subscribers (we always encourage submissions to the editor). The UCANIMPORT INSIDER is an extremely valuable information source - in fact, one of our recent editions (March 2008) saved several vehicle importers more than $2000 in unnecessary costs!
With the UCanImport Guide: "How to Import a Vehicle from the USA into Canada" as well as the UCANIMPORT INSIDER e-newsletter, you will become an expert at importing vehicles from the United States. You will be able to fully capitalize on the opportunity to save thousands of dollars on all future vehicle purchases.
