As a rider from Canada entering Mexico
bring whatever document your particular province issues to you as your OWNERSHIP AND REGISTRATION of the bike or car, showing make , model, year and VIN, and YOUR NAME
and your DRIVERS LICENSE and your PASSPORT
These all should show YOUR NAME spelled the same way
You may pay in Cash or with a credit card , again in YOUR NAME.

If paying cash you may pay for the TVIP and the FMM with Pesos or US DOLLARS . The refundable TVIP SECURUTY DEPOSIT if paid in cash must be paid in US DOLLARS ONLY
That deposit is refunded when you cancel the TVIP before it expires


Do not get sucked into the claptrap about Title , that is a USA document , it does not apply to you.

Canmet , I should add that you have no reason to think about showing your Canadian insurance slip at the Mexican border ( unless of course it is as an inseparable portion of your registration as it is , I think, in British Columbia.)
Your Canadian liability insurance is of no use, worthless , in Mexico
.
Before travelling in Mexico you absolutely must buy a policy for Mexico liability insurance . That insurance is sold online ,at many State- side storefront insurance offices in border towns and it is sold right inside most Mexican Border Customs Terminals by the reps of the Mexican insurance companies.

I like to say thanks to Sjored Bakker for his advice and positive comments.
Thanks you very much
Canmet

To get a TVIP you need title or registration docs. I have entered Mexico many times and never showed the title, only the US registration.

And in fact, showing the title might be counter-productive if it is one (eg CA?) that shows the registration expiry date and it has passed

I just report is so easy to make TVIP in Quintana Roo but if you have come from Belize and store the car in Cancun with out TVIP you must go back to Mexican border and just tell him you will make TVIP and he allowed you to drive on another side to banjercito.There must you pay deposit for the car(depens year of your car) + tax+ entering tax all together 350 eur but in my case they will return 300 USD on my credit card when I check out on bajercito on the border.
The rest I report in august when I come to Tijuana.
