Canada Road & Rail Transport - Certificate Issuance and Expiration

When an employer believes that an employee is adequately trained, and the employee will be performing duties to which the training relates, the employer must issue a training certificate to the employee. The training certificate must be signed by both the employee and the employer or another employee acting on behalf of the employer.

Likewise, when a self-employed person believes that he or she is adequately trained, and he or she will be performing duties to which the training relates, the self-employed person must issue himself or herself a training certificate.

A training certificate issued for transport by aircraft expires 24 months after its date of issuance. A training certificate issued for transport by road vehicle, railway vehicle, or vessel expires 36 months after its date of issuance.
