Just remember that DOT in Canada is called MTO (ministry of transportation) Call these guys - this is a branch of Ontario MTO that issues authorities for Ontario. They can help you find the right person or branch. I called them a while ago when I was looking into getting Ontario authority (I'm Canadian).

hey thanks guys i appreciate all the information i will definitly look into it just kind of busy right now and havent had much down time. once again thanks

You need your cab card updated with all the Canadian Provinces you plan to visit. Just get all of them. It cost me $13.00 to add every one.

You need an SCAC code from the U.S.

You need a Canadian Carrier Code from Canada.

You need to make sure your insurance covers you in Canada.

You can't have a criminal record at all.

You need PAPS and PARS stickers.


This is a web page you can get your SCAC, PAPS and PARS.

This is the Canadian web page that will give you information about going across the border. This is also the site where you get your Canadian Carrier Code.
