Didn't think of online services. Will future employers accept a uncertified abstract or does it have to be an original?

 

ive only ever signed a form from the employer giving them the permission to get my abstract. let them do the work.

 

Does not work for Ontario licences. Something to do with Ontario's privacy policy.

Just go online and get one, worked for me.

 

Are you sure?? Cause I have gone to companies that have done this, they pay for my abstract and get the information... Also my current employer has a "Fleet" department that handles licensing, vehicles etc. They run abstracts on us at random to make sure we don't have suspended licences and any other issues that may arrise...

 

Should have been a bit more clear about it. It only works within Ontario. Outside of Ontario (like Alberta) they will not grant your employer access to your driving record. I had to give in a copy of my abstract every month until I switched my licence over to an Alberta licence. Not sure about Saskatchewan, but I would safely assume it would work the same way. Apparently it works for BC drivers in Alberta.

Just like my auto Insurance, I could not just change my address. I had to get a new policy, letters of experience, drivers abstracts for all drivers and proof of residency to get Alberta insurance. Only my commercial insurance company was a national insurer, so all that was needed was a copy of my Alberta licence and new address.

Why does it have to be so complicated, we are all Canadian's.

 

yeah, the last company gave me a form to sign every cpl years ??? to get new copy of abstract for their files that our abstracts were still clean
