a bit of a noob question.... can a VI be issued to cars with a temporary operation permit?
the CVSE website here (
CVSE - VIP eForm System - Known Issues) says;
"Vehicles operating under a Non-Resident permit (Section 6(7) of the CTA) or a Temporary Operating Permit (Division 14 of the MVAR)"
-> so... temporary operating permits are exempt from VIs right????
but... from the MVAR 25.01 (2) d;
"this part applies to...... (d) a vehicle, other than a motorcycle, the operator of which is required to hold a licence under the Motor Carrier Act or a licence or temporary operating permit under the Passenger Transportation Act,"
Now... I'm not sure how this part is interpreted, for temporary operating permits to be exempt from VIs, does it HAVE to be used as a means for transporting passengers for compensation (the passenger transportation act says that it is for vehicles that transport people for compensation)...
So does that mean I'm safe if I want to drive my car in vancouver under a temp operating permit? Or am i NOT safe because i'm not licensed to use the car for passenger transport for compensation purposes?
