Question re: importing a vehicle from out of province.

[Log]

I am heading out east to pick up a vehicle from out of province. Anyways, I purchased a Temporary Insurance Card from SGI (Sask Govt Insurance) for the drive back.

I understand I also need to get an in-transit vehicle permit. Anyways, do I need to get a permit for every province or state I pass through? Or do I only need to get the permit in the jurisdiction where I buy the vehicle?

My route back home is Quebec, Ontario, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota and then finally Saskatchewan. I am hoping I don't need one for every state or province

Any help would be appreciated.

I know when we move buildings you need a permit for each county/city you are traveling through, since the county/city has jurisdiction over its municipal roadways, signage etc.

Now since Motor Vehicles are the jurisdiction of the province, it makes sense that you would only need a permit from them. I have no idea about the US though.

At any rate, call either your provincial Department of Transport of Motor vehicles branch and they can tell you for sure.
