Five employees of driver-licensing centres in Ontario allegedly accepted bribes to manipulate the results of commercial truck-driving tests, according to documents filed in a Toronto court.
Ontario Provincial Police have laid a total of two dozen charges against eight defendants in an alleged scheme at the DriveTest centres, which are contracted by the province to provide driver licensing and examinations.
The charges stem from an investigation by the Serious Fraud Office, which is led by the OPP, into “suspected irregularities” in commercial truck-licence testing between 2021 and 2024 in Kingston and the Greater Toronto Area.

Court documents obtained by The Globe allege that five of the defendants in the case accepted or demanded bribes while employed as “agents” of Serco Canada Inc., the company that operates DriveTest and is contracted by the Ministry of Transportation to conduct road tests. A spokesperson for the company did not respond to a request for comment.
The agents are Craig Berry, 54, of Kingston; Vishnu Ayyamperumal Kumar, 36, of Oshawa; Victor Imade, 55, of Georgetown; Mandeep Manshahia, 34, of Caledon; and Imraan Jaffer, 43, of North York.
