US imports have to be certified by RIV (the Registrar of Imported Vehicles) and as such MUST have a label supplied by them after it has been certified to meet Canadian standards. This label MUST be stuck on the car near the original label on the driver door or door frame.
US cars have speedometers that have MPH as the dominant display, Canadian cars have KPH as the dominant display, this could be got around by changing the dial. I think mph and kph LCD displays can be changed by the dealer. The temperature display may be changeable, I'm not sure.
Canadian cars must have DTRLs (Day Time Running Lights) to get certification, this can be achieved by fitting the Canadian headlight switch or by another method, one of which is a Canadian Tire relay fix.
I will add the RIV label photo.
If it is a US car and you were not informed or it does not have the RIV label then a really serious fraud has been committed by someone. This could lead to big a fine.
i do not believe i have seen such a sticker but i will verify tomorrow.
thanks for this info, i had no idea this existed.
