The Safety Fitness Certificate (SFC) is a document that gives permission to a commercial carrier to operate commercial vehicles in Canada. Each province and territory issues SFCs to carriers based in their province or territory. Once a Canada-based carrier holds a valid SFC from the carrier’s base province or territory, the SFC is accepted by all other provinces and territories in Canada (the SFC is reciprocal).

The SFC may be referred to by other terms in certain jurisdictions. For example, in Ontario, the SFC is referred to as the Commercial Vehicle Operator Registration (CVOR) and in British Columbia, it’s referred to as the National Safety Coe (NSC) Number.
