In most cases, if your vehicle is plated in Ontario or the U.S. and if your commercial vehicle weighs over 4,500 kg you will require a Commercial Vehicle Operators Registration (CVOR) in order to conduct business within the province of Ontario. Similar to a US DOT or Motor Carrier (MC) number in the U.S. You do not need to register for a CVOR or any other provincial transportation authority if you are already registered in another Canadian province.

For more information on registering for a CVOR, or to register your vehicle(s) with a specific provincial authority, click the links below.

Ontario - Register for a Commercial Vehicle Operator's Registration (CVOR)
Quebec - Register for a Heavy Vehicle Registration (SAAQ)
Manitoba - Register for a Commercial Motor Vehicle Registration (CMV)
Saskatchewan - Register for a Commercial Motor Vehicle Registration (CMV)
Alberta - Register for a Commercial Vehicle Registration (CVR)
British Columbia - Register for a Commercial Transport Permit (CVSE)
Highway carriers will also be required to register for the International Registration Plan (IRP), which is a vehicle registration system for trucks operating inter-jurisdiction between many Canadian provinces and throughout North America. A vehicle is eligible under the IRP if the vehicle is intended for operation in two or more jurisdictions and meets at least one of the following conditions:

registered weight of 11,794 kg or more
three or more axles regardless of weight
has a combined weight of 11,794 kg or more in combination with a trailer or semi-trailer
will be operating in a jurisdiction that requires IRP registration for a particular class or weight of vehicle
