Canadian Vehice Permit questions

Hello there,
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

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

[nq:1]Remember, Ontario licences are bilingual, thus some abbreviations appear twice, in English and French.[/nq]
Perhaps "PAS" is an abbreviation for the French word "passable".

Of course you did. Silly me. Thanks a lot!

Just one more thing. Do you think "G" in the POWER section would stand for 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)?

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 therefor
