If you plan on purchasing a prius in the states plan on purchasing a used vehicle. Canada no longer allows Canadians to import new vehicles into Canada that originate in the U.S. Also, check with U.S. and Canada Customs to see what the procedures are for importing into Canada and exporting from the U.S.

Equally important, I believe that if you purchase a vehicle in the U.S. and need to get it serviced in Canada, the dealerships in Canada will not service it because it is a U.S. vehicle. You might want to call your local dealership and ask to see if this is true though. I hope that this helps.
