New to Canada?
Your first car in Canada, without the stress.
The Newcomer Car Package: someone who knows the GTA car market helps you choose, check, buy and register the right car. $399, one price, start to finish.
Why it's hard
Buying a car in a new country is different.
No Canadian history
No credit or Canadian driving history can make financing and insurance harder and more expensive. We explain your options so you can plan for it.
A new market
Prices, models and how private sales work are different here. Liens, UVIPs and safety certificates are new to most people.
Easy target for scams
Deposit scams, curbsiders and cars with hidden problems often target buyers who don't know the local rules yet.
Pressure at dealers
Extra fees, add-ons and high-interest financing are easy to agree to when you're in a hurry to get a car.
What's included
Five steps, one person on your side.
Plan call (30–45 min)
We talk about your budget, your daily drive and your family. You get a shortlist of reliable models and the real monthly cost, not just the sticker price: insurance, gas, maintenance and registration.
Find the right car
Send us the listings you like from Marketplace, Kijiji, AutoTrader or dealers. We review them and flag scams, curbsiders, bad prices and cars to skip.
Full inspection
One complete CarTick pre-purchase inspection on the car you choose: OBD-II scan, UVIP and lien check, and a written report with photos.
Negotiate and buy
We help you make an offer based on what the inspection found. At a dealer, we can explain the fees and add-ons before you sign.
Paperwork made simple
Step by step through the bill of sale, ownership transfer, Safety Standards Certificate and plates at ServiceOntario, so nothing is missed.
Questions
Newcomer FAQ
How much is the Newcomer Car Package?
$399 CAD. It includes the plan call, listing reviews, one full pre-purchase inspection, negotiation help and paperwork guidance. Extra inspections, if your first choice fails, are $149 each.
Do you sell insurance or arrange loans?
No. We are not an insurance broker or a lender. We explain how insurance and financing work for newcomers and what questions to ask, so you can compare quotes from licensed brokers and lenders yourself.
Do you sell cars or get paid by sellers?
No. We work only for you, the buyer. We don't take commissions from sellers or dealers on the car you buy.
Can you help if I don't have a Canadian driver's licence yet?
Yes, we can help you plan, but you'll need a valid licence to register and insure a car in Ontario. Check ServiceOntario for the rules that apply to your licence from home.
What languages do you speak?
English, Hindi and Urdu.
Which areas do you cover?
Toronto, the GTA and up to 100 km from Toronto.
We give buying guidance and inspections only. We are not an insurance broker, lender or car dealer, and this is not legal or financial advice.
