Transport Canada Medical Fee?

Post by wirez »

I recently went to renew my medical (Class 1). Paid $120 fee to the medical examiner. A month later I recieve a bill in the mail from TC for Medical processing fee of $55.00.

Is this normal? I don't remember paying these charges before.

If you don't pay it they will deduct it from your tax return. Let them do the and just ignore it.

I wonder how much of the $120 goes to the examiner? Since TC charges you $55 additional, I'd hope the examiner gets all of the $120.

Your examiner is ripping you off. Mine charges 60 bucks.

And I do like the whore does, don't pay it out of principle...but the tax man gets you in the end. Or if you owe them taxes kiss your next GST cheque good bye. :(

So are you. The government lets you have a free checkup every year. So if your medical is the the first time you've been to the doctor this year then ask them to put it on your heatlh card.

another example of the government getting its hands into your wallet after all the tax we pay. I remember that fee was to pay for the aip amendments, wonder what lie they will come out with to cover the 55 bucks they will keep billing us all. typical government bullsh*t.
