Told DH had to come in and they would call the hotline. Guess we will see what happens. I tried other Service Ontario places in larger communities but couldn't get to talk to a person. Just press this, press that, return to menu!!! Frustrating. gitane59 - How did you get to talk to a real person???
After reading about this issue on the forums I called the CVOR place in St Catherines (link below), the receptionist answered and indicated that I needed a CVOR because the GVWR of my pickup is over 6,000 kg. She put me through to the next level as I wanted a detailed answer, I waited on the line for 1/2 hr. then used the message facility where they were supposed to call me back (that was 2 weeks ago, I'm not holding my breath for an answer!).
There is a PDF file available to fill out (most of it is "not applicable" for us personal use folks), the form plus $250 plus maybe a test at Service Ontario will allow you to get a plate renewal. The practice test on-line is relatively easy, I got 85% without knowing anything!
It's a stupid cash grab!
