What happens if you ignore a provincial offences ticket

This page is a public educational walkthrough. It is not a retainer, a court form, or a promise about your result. For legal advice, you should contact an appropriate Lawyer or Paralegal specializing in the area of law you need assistance with.

1. No response can lead to conviction

   The Provincial Offences Act sets default paths, including conviction without a trial on some tickets.

2. Fines can go to collection and can affect a licence

   That depends on the offence and the statute. Waiting for a reminder text is not a plan.

3. Reopening uses Form 102

   Download it from the POA court-procedure list. Explain why you missed the date. File at the court office on the ticket.

4. Form 125 is only about time to pay

   It does not wipe out the conviction.
