Unfortunately, if you want to import a Porsche into Canada you will be paying the fees to your local Porsche dealer and waiting for your aaproval letter to come from the Head Office in Ontario. There is no other way to "get around" the fees anymore.

Oh well ...
The recall clearance letter doesn't have to be a letter. With my VW R32 they just punched the VIN into the vw.com site and that satisfied RIV. With Porsche, all you need is a dealer in the states to print out the screen of their online tool that shows the car has no open recalls.
