That's not exactly true. I thought it was this way too, until about a year and a half ago when I was importing a Mini at Queenston/Lewiston. There was construction on the US side just before the export office, and there was a temporary sign pointing you over to the export office, which I missed, completely by accident. I ended up on the Canadian side and the guy at the booth said they didn't care, it was the Americans who care about the export side of things. I got the Ontario title no problem, and have since sold it through the auction (which clears all titles) to another dealer in Quebec, who (I assume) got title fine - that was 4 months ago and I haven't heard anything since. (and believe me, I would have heard through the auction house if there was a title problem!)
