Dear Jing,
Thank you for your inquiry.

Thank-you for your recent inquiry. To import a vehicle from the U.S. the vehicle must be cited as admissible on Transport Canada's List of Vehicles Admissible from the United States.

The 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution that you wish to import is INADMISSIBLE according to Transport Canada's List of Admissible Vehicles from the United States. Please refer to this list at http://www.riv.ca/english/US_vehicle_admissibility.pdf

When there are no modifications that can be made on the vehicle to comply with the Canadian Safety Standards, that is when, the manufacturer with transport Canada deems a vehicle INADMISSIBLE.

As far as the technical details on it's inadmissibility, please contact the Original Equipment Manufacturer.

Sincerely,

Selina

I work for a Mitsubishi dealership here in Ontario, Canada. Some customers are asking us if they can import a 2006 Mits. Evolution IX to Canada. Is it admissible or inadmissible?

I have noticed in your RIV list that it only covers 2003-2005 Mits. Lancer Evolution.

Thank you in advance for you resonse.

So, just like what I said before the only Evo that was confirmed by Mitsu HQ and mentioned by the Mitsu Canada president is the up-coming Evo X.

With all this crazy laws, if you're able to plate an Evo IX locally then good for you.



so, sorry to break your hearts!

But from what I read off the RIV website is that all models of DSM cars are allowed provided, 1) there are child tether anchorages, 2) electronic immobilization system installed by the manufacturer, 3) have operational air bags at the time of inspection by the Registrar of Imported Vehicles (RIV), 4) have a VIN composed of between 14 and 17 alphanumeric characters, 5) active and passive restraint system, 6) Daytime Running light that are or can be activated to operate at all time of vehicle motion, 7) the vehicle cannot be started with drivetrain engaged i.e. clutch interlock switch
