What to know about a suspended License

Persons convicted of violations under the Criminal Code of Canada, the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Act, or the Traffic Safety Act, involving the operation or control of a motor vehicle may be suspended or disqualified from driving in accordance with limits stated in the Traffic Safety Act.

It is unlawful to be in possession of an operator’s License while it is suspended or disqualified. It is a serious offence to drive while unauthorized, punishable by law. Drivers stopped by a peace officer and found to have their operator’s License suspended will have the vehicle they were driving seized and impounded for a period of 30 days.

If the vehicle seizure involves the same suspended driver and owner within a three-year window, the seizure period is 60 days. Only individuals who are in possession of a full, non-GDL driver’s License can apply for a restricted drivers License due to a demerit suspension.

The steps to reinstate your License vary based on the reason for the suspension. They usually include serving the suspension duration, fulfilling any conditions set by the authorities, attending required programs, and paying applicable fees. Some situations might necessitate medical clearance as well.

In some cases, you might be eligible for a restricted or probationary License during your suspension period. This allows you to drive under specific conditions, such as to and from work or medical appointments. However, full reinstatement usually occurs only after completing the required suspension period and fulfilling all conditions. You’ll need to contact the appropriate authorities to learn the steps specific to your case.
