If you have, or can get the contact info from the seller before it went to Canada, I would start there. If they do not have the original title, they may be able to get a duplicate from their state DMV. If you do not have thatinfo, you may be able to request an official title directly from the state DMV based on the photocopy. Each state DMV does business differently, but that would be a starting point. Sometimes a polite call (or several) to the DMV may lead you the a solution.
