Default Soaring in Invermere, BC

A glider was imported to Alberta a few
years ago, but after getting the CofR, the
owner took it to an AME (Canadian
equivalent of A&P IA) for an annual
inspection, but the AME was unfamiliar
with the import airworthiness process
which requires the laying on of hands by
an MD-M (Minister's Delegate -
Maintenance); so just did an annual.

No CofA was issued. A few folks flew it
and were later fined a few hundred bucks
per flight by Transport Canada.

Plus if your glider has a German (LBA) type certificate, and you have a copy of it, it might be valid in Canada period. It would be worth checking out with Transport Canada.

NO - this is not correct!

The minute you register your glider as experimental in the US, it may not fly in Canadian Airspace without the specific approval of Transport Canada.

However, a US glider certificated under a normal Certificate of Airworthiness may be flown in Canada without any requirement to contact Transport Canada.

Any aircraft with an Experimental flight permit is considered, by Transport Canada, to be amateur-built and must comply with all the rules of a homebuilt prior to flight in Canada.
