Nikki,
Everything looks good on those with one exception....
For Restricted use motorcycles (which include mini/pocket bikes) that off road label must state that the vehicle is for closed course competition and off road use only and must be In both FRENCH and ENGLISH or we will refuse it at the border as per transport Canada's Instructions.
Importers can make up their own bilingual label ahead of time, but it must be on a sticker such as a vinyl one that won't be removed by rain or other elemental means.
For a wording of this label they can get that from the RIV.CA website under restricted motorcycles. Provided the we the inpectors at the borders are satisfied with the wording and translation we can watch the importer affix it to the machine and then complete the necessary paper work. As almost all machines that are being imported from the USA don't have labels in French but rather english and spanish, this is important to at least print up a french label to affix. The US off road stickers are yellow in colour.
Hope this helps...
Sandra
