Its very easy Karl, alyhough there is some paperwork involved.  The website
that Malcolm posted lists the steps but here's the short form:

Buy van.

Get clearance from US Customs (72 hours needed - register in advance or go
back for the van)

Import van & pay PST, GST & Air Conditioning eco fee (if applicable) to
Canadian Customs

Get Canadian/Provincial Vehicle Inspection

Register & insure your van

Drive!
