Out-of-province offence — Ontario Driving Abstract
An out-of-province offence is an offence occurring outside Ontario. Ontario's demerit guidance explains that some offences from other jurisdictions can affect its point system. That limited statement should not be expanded into a claim that an Ontario record contains every event reported by every other jurisdiction.

Use the term in context
Read the specific product's scope and the actual printed entry before describing what another province's history shows. Ontario's individual CVOR Driver Abstract, for example, has its own stated Ontario-operation coverage. If a recipient requests a document from another authority, identify that separate request rather than using one Ontario copy as a substitute for every jurisdiction's records.
