For MSRP go to the Porsche web site and "build" your car in Canada, then "build" it in the Porsche USA web site. Compare.

If you live in AB you only pay GST on the car. In BC you pay HST (combined PST & GST, till they do away with that). Unless you have a address in AB that you actual live at you will pay the HST. You will need documentation such as a drivers licence that you live in AB. Canada Customs asks for your drivers licence when they are filling out your entry paperwork and ask for a phone number.

If you buy from a dealer in California they will try to collect the sales tax because the state expects them to. You need to have the car shipped out of state for them to not collect the taxes. If you buy from a dealer in the USA get the recall letter for RIV from the dealer. If buying from a private party get them to provide a recall letter from their dealer. I've been told Porsche Canada charges $2,500 to provide the letter.

Not sure about Porsche but GM told their dealers not to sell new vehicles to Canadians. They will sell you used, but not new.
