The Ontario program lets eligible drivers with an impaired-driving suspension return to driving using an ignition interlock. Administered through the Ministry of Transportation, it requires a device that tests your breath sample before every start.Smart Start Canada provides approved installation, monitoring, and reporting across Ontario.
There is no fixed allowed number. Every violation is recorded and reported to the Ministry of Transportation, which decides on any extension or consequence. Repeated failed or missed tests can extend your program, so follow all testing steps carefully to avoid violations.
Exemptions are decided by the Ministry of Transportation, not by Smart Start Canada. Limited medical or hardship considerations may apply in specific circumstances. Contact the MTO directly to ask about eligibility for any exemption from the ignition interlock requirement.
Smart Start Canada has authorized service centres across Ontario for installation, calibration, and removal. Use the Ontario locations page to find the nearest centre, then book an appointment. Installation takes about two to three hours and includes hands-on training with your device.
