Questions & answers
Can I order every record mentioned here through MDA?
No. The provider profile identifies the two private-service products. Other record types are linked to Ontario's official information.
Is an abstract the same as licence history?
Not as a product specification. Compare the information required with Ontario's descriptions before ordering.
