as long as you have the paperwork from the border then the next step is a Provincial inspection.  I don't think a Federal is necessary because of the age.

here's the BC site:
http://www.icbc.com/registration-licensing/buy-vehicle/import-vehicle
partway down is a pdf of garages that do out of country inspections.  I've heard some are more lax than others..  I've taken a car to Adria (on Broadway) and they were very thorough. ex. on the list of items needing to be fixed was:  'the passenger seat does not move fluidly in the track'.

- not sure how up to date but this is the form they go off:
