i started looking at importing a new TDI, but since its made in Germany i have to pay GST+PST and duties, which is 6.3%

In US the highline is 24K, and doesnt even come with leather seats. Only Canadian models get leather on TDI. Also you need a letter from VW Canada stating the car is ok for canada. That letter can cost from 50$ to 2000$. it all depends on what the company feels like. I know that letter is required for customs. Also you have to make sure Canada Warranty accepts US cars. I know some dealerships and companies denied US warranty. There is also the financing or leasing that you can not do if you get from US.

So i looked at all options and decided to pay the extra 5$ and have a Canadian car. It comes with 4 yr warranty and i don't have to do anything else. Just go there and sign papers. Ohh yeah the Golf TDI will not be in US until December as well.
