[PUP] Canadian Taxes on boats staying in Canada

[Bob Upshon]

Please don't take the verbal opinion of a Canadian Customs official as
Gospel, they all have a different interpretation of the law and most have
the IQ of a leaf. The only safe way is to ask for a written ruling (which
could take up to nine months) and you will most likely find you are doomed. 
The work order thing isn't going to work, the repair yard will get dinged
for the sales tax on supplies and materials if he can't show they went into
the boat and doesn't physically deliver the boat back to the U.S. By truck
or sea.
Why not just stay "within" a six month period on a cruising permit?
