This is such a great idea. I assume it is an old Fairway Taxi. They were built to last and would be great to motor around Canada.

Brighter Visas your client is a man after my own heart a little background. They are designed to last for ever. In fact after 300,000 miles often the engine is put into barges as they never fail. You could also repair them for next to nothing. Along with their turning circle and amazing space in side they were by far the best Taxi ever made world wide and far better than the new ones or the American versions.

However, to take a Taxi into Canada is going to be a tough job and will cost way more than the car. They are very strict about what cars are allowed in. Especially the "Wrong drive" type. I guess with the US Car industry under pressure they do not need imports.

Over all the Fair Way is a great Taxi but it would be easier to secure a Visa for Immigration for a Camel than to get the necessary permits for your beloved cab. My advice is to emigrate without the taxi. I am sorry but the best you could do is take her out for a long drive in the Country or around town where she lived her life and take lots of pictures to remember her by. Please don't see it as good bye but sell her on to someone who loves her and then secure your visa to emigrate in peace.

I hope this helps and Brighter Visas I think hit on something here. We love our cars so why is getting a visa for them so tough, maybe we could start a new visa class? All the best.

Thank you for your reply. We agree old London Taxi's look great and we shall certainly pass on your advice.

Your comments have raised a lot of questions in the office especially among the car and bike enthusiasts who would like to know more about how a person does bring their car to Canada.

As an Immigration company over the years we have had many clients ship items of little value what often cost more to ship than sell on ebay before departure. It is very often not the price tag which determines what stays or goes but the sentimental attachment to the objects.

It seems strange but to those who have not emigrated but we do understand how it works like this. Once old couple we loved as our clients decided to take their grown up children's toys.

Anyway, thank you again for your help and if you do know the correct route to move a car to Canada please let us know.

You can check on Google for importing cars into Canada. I did a while ago, but can't remember. I do know their concern is the vehicle' pollution control has to meet their standard. They may want to impound it briefly to inspect it. I have seen right hand drive vehicles. Victoria, BC the capital is very British, probably more UK expats there than anywhere in North America. Plus it has the best warmest winter of anywhere in Canada. It is better city than Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary... With an old British Taxi you could operate a tourist business. Certain vintage vehicles are licensed as antique or vintage automobiles and receive a large deduction on insurance. Your taxi would certainly stand out and you would get many invites from car clubs and auto shows. I live up Island an hour in Nanaimo. I wish I could afford Victoria real estate. Oak Bay is spectacular if you had the money,
