    First step is to register the vehicle with the Registrar of Imported Vehicles, which is what you'll be doing at the border. The link below will describe the process of registering the vehicle with the RIV and also talks about the fee. The next step is to register the vehicle in the province/territory in which you live. As you do not mention which one you live in you'll have to look this up yourself, but generally it involves a vehicle inspection (maybe more than one), lots of paperwork and more fees.

    Call the Canadian Customs.

    Canadian import from US laws are at best funky. For example UPS charged my cousin in Canada another $45 for transfer for a package since the Canadian customs building or something like that are separate or at different location for pickup. So we paid for a $20 gift around $100 in shipping and custom transfers.
