Once it gets to Canada, you will need to find a friend who has CN rail access to get a date for when it gets on a train and moved to you vicinity. Check this forum, there are those here that can help.

Once it is near your vicinity, you can track the trucking to the dealership:

(DISCLAIMER - At least this was the way I tracked my car from Germany to Toronto. I know they sometimes can ship using a different company or truck direct without rails. So, this has not accounted for those variances)

Hopes this helps.
for those links. They are proving themselves to be very useful
