Canada
In Canada, the Highway Traffic Act in each province is a matter of provincial jurisdiction, although all ten provinces have followed a consistent set of national criteria issued by Transport Canada for specific equipment required as part of a street-legal vehicle. Laws regarding aftermarket items such as studded tires, snow tires and radar detectors vary widely between provinces.
Many but not all US-model vehicles do qualify for importation to Canada, but must meet requirements for items such as daytime running lights (standard on Canadian-market vehicles since 1991, but not required in the US), anti-theft immobilisers and anchorage points for child seats.
