FREE 2025 Online CVOR Ontario Practice Test 1: 40 Questions | ON
The Commercial Vehicle Operator’s Registration (CVOR) system serves as Ontario’s way of holding commercial truck and bus operators accountable for safety on the road. Any company or individual (owner-operator) that is the registered operator of a truck over 4,500 kg or a bus with seats for 10 or more passengers must have a valid CVOR certificate if the vehicle is plated in Ontario, the United States, or Mexico (Ontario’s Commercial Vehicle Operator’s Registration). The distinction between “operator” and “driver” is important. You can still be a commercial driver (with the appropriate licence, of course) without the CVOR certificate if you are not the registered operator (the company or entity responsible for managing the commercial vehicles).
Operators must pass the CVOR learning and assessment before receiving a CVOR certification. For corporate applications, each corporate officer must be included on the application. Omitting just one from the application can result in a delay or rejection. Once the application is submitted, you will receive a letter with information about how to register for the online course. You will have six months during which the course and assessment must be passed. If not completed during that period, you must start the entire application process over again.
Our 40-question, fully updated online CVOR Practice Test with questions and answers mirrors the latest standards and requirements in the MTO Truck Handbook and Commercial Operator’s Safety Manual. Additionally, if you’re an owner-operator preparing for potential audits, where an understanding of these standards and requirements may be addressed, our test materials cover every essential topic.
One of the requirements for a CVOR certificate is to pass an official knowledge test if your operation is based in Ontario. You must take the official knowledge exam at a registered drive test center. To pass, you must score at least 80%.
Our CVOR Ontario Practice Test will help you prepare for the official knowledge test. You’ll cover topics such as these:
- CVOR registration requirements and exemptions
- Commercial vehicle classifications and operator responsibilities
- Safety compliance expectations under Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act
- Vehicle inspection, maintenance, and cargo securement standards
- Reporting obligations for driver conduct, mechanical condition, and collisions
- Enforcement actions, audit triggers, and sanctions for poor safety records
Each question has four answer options and features optional hints and real-time responses so you can learn as you go. The test pulls directly from MTO’s most current guidance.
