Technically, I would think that such cars should still be eligible, as all Canadian Camry Hybrids come from the US anyway.

Technically, yes.

But you know the gov't. It won't give it to you even though it's supposed to promote the purchase of fuel efficient vehicles. Only Canadian bought TCHs will be eligible.

Look at the 2009 TCHs. Their prices have dropped considerably ($30,660 for a base TCH with power moonroof, dual illuminated vanity mirrors and rear reading lights standard).
