Canadian Vehice Permit questions
Jurek
I am currently translating a Canadian vehicle's permit. There are a few
problems I have come accross, namely, at the very top of the Permit
Vehicle Portion it says "PAS" - "FIT" and then there comes the plate
number. In the Permit Plate Portion it says "PAS" and then comes the plate
number as well. The very plate was issued in Ontario. Oh, and another
thing; as far as as the Body type is concerned it says "TY" (the vehicle
make is a Jeep). I did try to contact the Canadian Embassy in my country but
they said the couldn't help cos the guy that deals with it had taken a few
days off (apparently, he was the only one that knew). I mean, can you
believe it? I'd be grateful for any hints and suggestions.
Regards,
Jurek

Vehicle Permits are issued by the provincial governments, so in
general they would be different from province to province.

I believe that's what they say when the vehicle is "fit". If the
vehicle is sold as "fit" it must pass safety and emissions
inspections.

Mine says "OCP" in that portion, which apparently stands for "Own
Choice Plate".

The plates have a life of their own.
You might also find the "BRAND" section interesting.

There are some links to ask questions you can find from the above
link.

I don't know. For cars, the codes I've seen are 4D or 2D (for the
number of doors).

Sure. In fact you may not find anyone at the Canadian Embassy in
Warsaw that knows much about it, as it's nothing really to do with
them. I'm sure they would be nice and try to find out for you, if they
have time, though.

Start with the Ontario Ministry of Transportation
http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/index.html
and send an email if you cannot find by yourself
everything you require.
Remember, Ontario licences are bilingual, thus
some abbreviations appear twice, in English and
French.

Perhaps "PAS" is an abbreviation for the French word "passable".

Hello there again,
I've already handled the stuff I asket you about. I had the Ontario Ministry
of Transport called and came up with the following info:
PAS-- 'passenger'.
FIT- the car is 'fit'
TY-Utility Vehicle
Got lucky on that, still there is another thing to ask; at the very top
(just above the VIN number) it says "BRAND - NONE PLATED". Could you
help with that
one?
Best regards,
Jurek

In a previous post, I provided a link to a detailed explanation of
BRAND - XXXX. It has to do with a permanent mark on the record of
badly damaged vehicles. PLATED is self-explanatory.

gas (american for petrol) meaning (unleaded) petrol, or is it possible that
it stands for gas (as we have it popular down here in Poland to use gas
power wich is much cheaper)?

Gasoline (petrol).

Almost certainly "gas(oline)", petrol. The alternative (beside
diesel) is known by its chemical name "propane", which would probably
be represented by a P (and would therefore be even more confusing to
a speaker of British English).
