It's doubtful. Any goods that you take into Canada and intend to leave
in Canada will have to be declared at customs, and a car is no
exception. Importing a car into Canada can be complicated. Even more
complicated is that after the car is imported, you will have to register
it and buy insurance in whatever province you are in. And to do that,
normally you must already have legal residency in Canada.
If you have a contact in Canada, you might consider having him register
a car and buy insurance in his name, declaring you as the principal
driver. This is obviously risky for him, because he will be ultimately
responsible if anything bad happens. I wouldn't do it, not even for a
friend.
Good luck.
