Special permits may be refunded under the following conditions.
The administration fee for each permit issued is non-refundable.
To request a refund for a special permit, simply send a copy of the invoice, proof of payment and the special permit marked “Cancel” by email to this address: Remboursement-GPM@transports.gouv.qc.ca.
In the case of either “carrier” and “authorized representative” client accounts, a register identification number (RIN) from the Commission des transports du Québec OR a National Safety Code Certificate (NSC) number issued by another Canadian jurisdiction will be necessary to apply for a special permit.
Only carriers with a “satisfactory” or “conditional” safety rating will be able to apply for a permit. Carriers with the “conditional” rating will have their request analyzed, in the same way as those not required to obtain an identification or certificate number. Applicants can expect a delay of three working days.
For the configuration of a vehicle or a group of vehicles for which an applicant wishes to validate the load and size limits, traffic conditions and/or the feasibility of outsized transportation, it is possible to submit a permit application for class 6 or 7, in project mode, free of charge. Check the box found in step 6 “Statements,” in the “Comments” section.
