    I'm pretty sure it's 14 days from the initial inspection, the car needs to be re-inspected and all failing issues must be replaced or repaired. Once an OPI is done on a car, a copy of the inspection is sent to the ministry of transportation. You cannot take it somewhere else to have it re inspected.
    I am a mechanic and do these inspections daily, make sure everything inside and out work (seatbelts, lights, HVAC, seats, door handles). Make sure all your glass has an AS-1, or AS-2 type certification ( visible in the really small writing in the corner of window), have at least 5mm+ tire tread, at least 5mm or more of brake lining, no major leaks, front end good and tight, non cracked windshield, and no loose or broken body panels/parts.
    Slapping a pair of sticky reflectors on the rear quarters behind the rear wheels isn't a bad idea either, after the inspection you can just pull them off easy peasy.
    Depending on what year your car is, anything after 1991 is required to have a high mount brake light and daytime running lights.
    Hopefully this helps you out and makes you a little better prepared for your OPI.

    ^ thanks for the info, that was very informative! I must ask why just anything newer than 91? Did something change in cars for 92?
    Miss driving sooooo bad! Need to get a car on the road ASAP!

    Since when did Alberta require DOT headlight and side markers?
