What to do after you are in Canada
- Within
10 days, you'll receive a letter from RIV with your inspection
document (Form 2) which details what must be done to bring
your vehicle into compliance.
- It is
your responsibility to complete the necessary modifications
within 45 days. You may have the modifications done
by the mechanic or garage of your choice. However, we
recommend that you contact the Original Equipment Manufacturer
to discuss appropriate parts or warranty issues. Make
sure you keep receipts for parts and labour, to present at
the inspection, along with Form 1, Form 2 and the recall clearance
letter.
- The RIV
has contracted with Canadian
Tire, with 430 locations across Canada, to perform
the federal inspections. In many cases, Canadian
Tire can perform certain modification work, as well
as performing the provincial inspection.
- When you pass the inspection, the inspection center will stamp
your Form 1, that you will have to present to the provincial
or territorial licensing authority, which may require additional testing.
- Within
approximately one week of passing the federal inspection,
RIV will send you a new Canadian
Certification label with instructions on where to affix it
to your vehicle.
- If the
vehicle fails the inspection, you'll have to pay additional
charges for another inspection. If the vehicle cannot
pass the inspection within the 45 days, it will have to be
exported back to the United States.
- If you are having trouble meeting the 45-day deadline or other questions,
RIV may be able to help. Call RIV at 1-888-848-8240.
