Has anybody done this and if so how and where did you get the required insurance. Mexico is no problem but the US and Canada seems to be.
I have a current Canadian drivers Lisc and it is te same vehicle I drove down.

Any help or suggestions appreciated.

Hi. I would think you need to contact your old car insurance Co. in Canada and get them to send you insurance coverage for USA and Canada

Put the old Canadian plates back on. If you need to sell it in Canada, apply for a Can. lost title...

check with them to see if when you hit the US boarder that you can phone them to get an "In transit" insurance and say you are bringing the car back to Canada

Checked with them and they will not insure a vehicle until it is in Canada. Them only on a permit.
Trying to find a way to insure in the US now.

All of the ones I have talked to will not insure a non resident in a foreign registered vehicle

I drove my car from Belize to Oregon. Farmers insurance insured the vehicle, with BZE plates for the four years I was there. No registration fees and no stops by highway patrol or other cops. So insurance paid for itself by not paying registration fees. Not sure why it would be any different now . . .
