Expediting Your Travel Requirements

Are you a transportation company looking to travel across Indigenous land?

Permit Now is committed to building and maintaining strong relationships with Indigenous communities. We acknowledge that we conduct our work on Treaty territories and within unceded territories in Canada. We recognize and respect the important role that Indigenous peoples play in history, culture, and the ongoing development of Canada. 

Over the years, there has been an increased demand for the trucking industry to travel on local Indigenous roadways. We recognize the importance of these lands and the need to respect Indigenous rights and sovereignty.

PermitNow has created a streamlined solution for obtaining permits when traveling across First Nation and Métis Settlement land. Our app is designed to simplify the permitting process, making it easy for trucks to access and comply with the various permit requirements that may be necessary for their journey.

PermitNow App will allow you to reduce the administrative burden, while getting your load where it needs to go as quickly as possible while demonstrating a respect for the lands and communities you travel through.

We are committed to building and maintaining strong relationships with Indigenous communities and organizations to ensure that our process is implemented in a way that is both efficient and accurate.
