Re: Traffic Tickets Between NY and Canada
AFAIK, NY and Ontario reciprocate, in other words, a NY ticket will show up on your Ontario abstract.

Re: Traffic Tickets Between NY and Canada
That is correct. Ontario has a reciprocal agreement with New York, Michigan and all other Provinces.

The New York ticket will show up as if it's been committed in Ontario. Speeding is a charge that can be transferred. You will receive the equivalent Ontario demerit points as if you had committed the violation here. 50+ will remain speeding and 6 demerit points, but I don't believe you'd receive the 7-day licence suspension.

If you have been convicted of a driving offence in another Canadian province, the State of New York or Michigan, demerit points will be added to your driving record just as if the offence happened in Ontario.
Traffic offences outside Ontario that will add demerit points:
Speeding
Failure to obey a stop sign
Failure to obey a signal light
Failure to stop for a school bus
Racing
Failing to remain at or return to the scene of an collision
Careless driving
Criminal offences outside Ontario that will result in a suspension:
Vehicular manslaughter
Criminal negligence
Dangerous driving
Failure to remain at the scene of a collision
Impaired driving
Driving while disqualified or prohibited
