Can a US registered/insured car be driven in Canada by a Canadian resident?

Posted April 23rd, 2012 by immigratecanada and filed in Immigration to Canada

The car was bought in California and is insured in the U.S. However, since I have moved to Canada and plan to stay here permanently, I am wondering if I have to register and insure it under the Canadian DMV and insurance.

Thanks

Can a Canadian citizen cross the US/Canada border as a passenger in a US rental car driven by a US citizen?

Law states that a Canadian citizen may not drive a rental car with US license plates into Canada. However, can they be a passenger while a US citizen drives that rental car? Also, can the Canadian citizen be a passenger in a car owned by a US Citizen (with the owner driving)? Thanks!
