Is it too late to get GT3 RS allocation in Canada?
Waaaaaaay too late to the party right?
Might be moving to Ontario... and the hassle of importing GT car from US to Canada is a PITA.
Not many tourings on sale in Canada and would rather have WP RS in Canada.

Allocations done now until Oct/Nov for 2019, so I've been told.
Very hard to get one here unless you have a GT trade and are a multi car buyer or long time frequent buyer.
No such thing as ADM above MSRP here.

Is it really that much of a hassle?
The process is rather straightforward and there are US companies that make some of the paperwork easier.

So I guess allocation been out for rest of 2019 as well. Ive looked into importing but whats annoying is I will get taxed twice. Once in US and again in Canada. And being a Canadian myself, Canada charges tax on every random thing I can think of.

Should be another round of allocations within a month or so, so start calling around. But as posted above, slim chance of getting an allocation without a GT car to trade in or a connection. Maybe try dealerships in the middle of the country or further north - those tend to have less craziness around GT cars than Toronto or Vancouver.

And I believe you will get taxed on Canadian value, so our exchange rate is a big impact.

I think you'll see more cars pop up once more RS allocations come. I know somebody who I think is getting a RS and currently has a Touring, not sure if he's trading.

I did call Edmonton porsche once. Seems like they get 1-2 gt cars unfortunately.... if i have to import Touring, Ill just drive that around. I dont plan to track and Pdk for street use is just too boring.
I have a touring coming in. Did some research. Its 11% tax (exclusing pst) and $3000 gas guzzler tax. Crazy!!!

Ontario is very limited on allocations. I believe Ontario law doesn’t allow for new cars to be sold over MSRP, so you have to establish a relationship with the dealer similar to Ferrari in the US.
Personally, I think it’s a better system than going crazy with ADM. better customers should be taken care of (I say that as someone who’s only owned a single Porsche).

US MSRP: $187,500 (roughly $243,000 CAD)
CAD MSRP: $213,400
In short, not worth it.

Yeah, but since the dollar is so strong a Canadian RS is cheaper in US dollars than a US RS. That being said, I would never buy a Canadian car (no offense to anyone that has or would).

Ummm, it’s a German car. It has vacationed in Canada. It’s the same car. Do you vacation? You are still the same person.
