The short version: the Quebec oversize product is the Specific permit (Class 1), up to 7 consecutive days on a named route, priced across 6 published dimensional bands; overweight is the Specific permit (Class 5 or Class 6), up to 7 consecutive days, banded across 1 published gross-weight rows. Every figure on this page is in Canadian dollars, exactly as its source publishes it, and nothing here is converted.
1. Where the load goes next
The bordering jurisdictions, each carrying the one fact that decides whether that border is the expensive one. A multi-jurisdiction lane is the actual job, and this is one click rather than a return to the index.

4. Term and annual products
Products this province issues that we record and do not price3 products
Each of these is a real, published product. It is recorded and left unpriced because choosing between a trip permit and a twelve-month permit is a question about what is being bought, not a data gap — and answering it unasked would quote a year of permits for one move.
Each line below quotes the regulation in its own words, so the dollar signs are the regulation's. They are Canadian dollars, like every other figure on this page.
- Annual general permit: $347 for Class 1-3, $802 for Class 4-7 (s. 17). A general permit for under 12 months is prorated by the s. 17.1 formula.
- Class 6 permit for travel on a bridge signed against outsized vehicles: $39.50 specific / $135 annual, and only to the holder of a qualifying general permit.
- Rounding under s. 18 applies to amounts this module does not compute (the s. 17.1 proration); the four flat figures are already published rounded.
5. Who else issues a permit here
No second permit issuer is recorded for this province.
6. These figures are Canadian dollars
Canadian permit fees are stated in CANADIAN DOLLARS by every source they come from, and the CAD figure is the cited one. The US-dollar figure beside it is OUR conversion: at the European Central Bank daily reference rate when a current one is held, otherwise at the dated Bank of Canada annual average, and the line that converts it names the rate and its date.
