Yes, that's rite. I suggest you to get a bike first. But it also depends on how rich you are. As you mentioned in another post, you wanted a Skyline. A similar substitute would be a Infiniti G35 coupe(North American Verion of Skyline). The basic price for the car included tax would be around 52k CDN. I could estimate your insurance premium for a 18 year-old "male" owner would be around 6000 CDN/ year. So if I were you, I will stick with a bike(non-power one) unless you are loaded with cash to afford these killing insurance premium. BTW, the tax rate in Ontario is GST+PST= 15%. This applies to all the cars and goods purcahse except food(some require tax, some don't). Also, it's not easy for international students to immigrate because you need one year working experience before you can apply PR. Just let you know before coming here. Good Luck after all
