For Issuance of ORIGINAL CVOR Certificates - $250.00

Renewal of your CVOR Certificate

Starting December 1, 2008 all CVOR certificates will be assigned an expiry date. Existing (non-expiring) certificates are being assigned an expiry date over a two-year transition period. New applicants for CVOR certificates will be assigned an expiry date at time of issuance.

Renewal will be required annually after the transition period. Carriers converted in the first year of the transition period will receive an expiry date of two years. Carriers converted in year two will have a one year expiry assigned. After transition, annual renewal will be required for all operators except those operators with carrier safety ratings of "satisfactory" or "excellent". These operators will only be required to renew their certificate every two years.

Operators will be sent a notice of expiry 60 days prior to expiry (90 days during the transition period). A carrier that does not renew prior to the expiry date is liable to a fine and possibly to imprisonment, under section 21(2) of the Highway Traffic Act, if one or more of its commercial motor vehicles is found operating on an Ontario highway. In addition, subsection 20(2) authorizes a police officer to detain the vehicle and seize the permits and number plates of the vehicle until it can be moved in compliance with the Act.
