You'll need to have a permanent address to register the vehicle and, of course, have arranged insurance. To make sure you get on the correct airfcraft please know that Calgary is in the Province of Alberta and not British Columbia.
Auto insurance in Canada is VERY expensive. Bring with you all evidence possible of your hopefully good driving practices in OZ. It may or may not help.

Just to let you know that AirCare applies only on the Lower Mainland (around the Vancouver area) and does not exist in the rest of the province of BC.

How expensive is ridiculously expensive??
And I seem to remember that (new) cars seemed relatively cheap in comparison to here in Aus... for instance would anybody know the approx. cost of a Toyota Highlander (named Kluger here in Aus)?
