As for RIV etc etc I paid to have the car shipped and import certified. It was super simple. And even though I am not thrilled with the nuisance charge for the warranty switchover looking at a $95000 2008 PDE CS in the showroom (essentially my car with some Alcantara and painted bits less Sport Chrono) I felt pretty smug about how much money I had saved.

Ever since Porsche Canada split off from its parent PCNA earlier this year, there is friction coming from Canadian Porsche dealers towards customers buying US origin Porsches.
I had the US dealer do the oil change service which was due and complete the outstanding rubber bumpers recall, after which they simply hooked up their computer and turned on the DRLs and the miles-to-kilometers switchover at no extra charge. They even washed the car and gave me a new Cayman S loaner car, all at no extra charge!
I am only waiting for the recall clearance letter, which seems to be taking a bit longer than expected.
I am lucky enough to live close to that US dealer in MI, so will have all my service work performed there. Porsche Canada dealers seem to not be very customer friendly.
