Yes. Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) vehicles are legal to import and register in Ottawa when they meet Canada’s federal import regulations and Ontario’s provincial registration requirements.
At the federal level, vehicles must be 15 years or older from the month of manufacture to be legally imported into Canada. After import, vehicles registered in Ottawa must pass a provincial safety inspection and be registered through ServiceOntario before they can be driven on public roads.

In most cases, importing a JDM vehicle to Ottawa takes approximately 6–10 weeks from purchase to arrival in Canada.
Timelines can vary depending on vehicle availability, shipping schedules, and port processing, but we provide clear expectations and updates throughout the process so Ottawa buyers know what to expect at each stage.
Yes. Right-hand-drive (RHD) vehicles can be insured in Ottawa, though coverage availability and terms vary by insurance provider, vehicle type, and intended use.
