Car Shipping From Dubai to Canada
Contact UsShip your car from Dubai to Canada
Canada is the second largest country in the world by land area, so it poses a unique advantage in the field of logistics. They have ports situated in the middle of many of the global busy trade routes. It helps when Canada has accessible trade routes within the country and a solid enhanced logistics infrastructure as well. It makes sense that logistics and trade play a vital role in Canada’s economy and according to statistics, its revenue is only growing higher and higher.
It comes as no surprise that we, as a freight forwarding company, frequent with Canada and many of their ports on business matters, so we have a good relationship with the country and can provide excellent services in car shipping to Canada.
Methods of Car Shipping to Canada
Car Shipping Dubai – CSD , being one of the best car shipping companies in the world, offers several methods of handling car shipping for you, each car shipping method with its own benefits and advantages. All 3 methods are applicable for car shipping from Dubai or any other UAE nation to Canada.
Car shipping by Air Freight
Car shipping by Air Freight is the quickest method of car shipping in our arsenal, so it is advisable to utilize this method for urgent car shipping needs with a tight deadline. However, it does tend to be comparatively more expensive than the other modes of car shipping. Some of the major airports that we collaborate with for this method of car shipping in the UAE are Dubai International airport, Abu Dhabi International airport and Sharjah International airport among others and we are able to deliver your vehicle to any of the major airports in Canada. We have authorised agents from all the major airports in Canada to handle your shipment and from the major airlines to the freight services, we have all necessary authorities onboard for car shipping through air freight.
Car shipping in Containers
Car shipping in containers is the most common method of car shipping. We can either collect the vehicle from any UAE address or you can deliver it yourself to a nominated depot and save some money as well. We can either ship it to Canada through dedicated containers or consolidated containers. Dedicated container, albeit more expensive, provides the car with its own container where you can use the rest of the space ideally for a reasonable number of personal effects and items to take to Canada. Consolidated container is the more economical option with your car sharing the shipping journey to Canada in the container with one or two more cars in it. 20 foot and 40 foot containers are available for both shipping options. In both methods of shipping, our loading team will securely strap your vehicle for a safe shipping journey as it leaves off for Canada. 30 days is the rough estimation of time taken for the car to be brought to the destination port in Canada.
Car shipping by Roll On-Roll Off (RoRo)
Ro–Ro ships are large car ferries with no passenger accommodation used commonly for car shipping. This method of car shipping is suitable for shipping anything containing wheels including any type of vehicle from heavy-duty tanks and trucks to motorcycles. This is also the most cost-effective method of car shipping of the lot. However, you would be mistaken to disregard this option as the ‘cheap car shipping option’ as the vehicles are all securely loaded onto the ship and are completely safe in the shipping journey to Canada, even from the elements. However, It is advisable to remove all personal belongings and effects from the vehicle apart from the key prior to shipping to Canada to avoid unwanted claims of lost possessions. Ro-Ro transport also takes around 30 days to be brought to the destination port in Canada.

FAQs’ when shipping a car to Canada
Prior to shipping a vehicle to Canada, you must make sure that your vehicle will be eligible for import into Canada with regards to their vehicle import regulations. Canada has strict import requirements with regards to safety standards being met when a vehicle is being imported. There are no exceptions if the vehicle does not meet their criteria.
The Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) works alongside Transport Canada to ensure that all vehicles being imported into Canada are done with respect to their safety standards. It would be wise to verify whether your vehicle will be accepted into Canada before you commit to shipping the vehicle. If you do ship an inadmissible vehicle into Canada your vehicle will be denied entry and you will be liable for all storage and disposal/re-export costs incurred.
While it is prohibited by the CBSA and Transport Canada to import vehicles that are not manufactured for sale in either Canada or the United States of America, there are circumstances where vehicles manufactured for other foreign markets may be imported. Such circumstances include:
It should be noted that no amount of modifications made to non USA or Canadian vehicles to replicate their standards will allow the vehicle to be imported by the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Act under Canadian safety requirements.
Vehicles less than 15 years old
With the exception of vehicles manufactured for sale in the United States, it is prohibited by Transport Canada to import vehicles under than 15 years made for foreign markets. Vehicles manufactured in the US are eligible for import to Canada but with heavy regulations and restrictions. These heavy regulations are provided by the Registrar of Imported Vehicles (RIV), a body established to administer regulations for the importation of US made vehicles into Canada.
One aspect of these regulations by the RIV are the modification work to make it eligible under Canadian standards. We urge you to comply with all the requirements and modifications prior to shipping the car.
Vehicles over 15 years old
Vehicles that are over 15 years old qualify for an exemption from the RIV guidelines. However, the owner must be able to prove the claim of the vehicle being over 15 years old by providing the necessary documents, such as a copy of the vehicle license document (V5).
While it is permitted for such vehicles to be imported to Canada, there are heavy restrictions in registration of the vehicle. These guidelines differ from province to province so we urge you to be aware of these requirements prior to registration.
