You qualify to claim Capital Cost Allowance (CCA) on a vehicle:

You'll be brought to Your Vehicle Expenses Summary. Select Add a Vehicle for Business Use.
Fill out applicable information on the form provided, then select Continue.
You'll be brought back to Your Vehicle Expenses Summary. Select Done with Vehicles.

From the menu, select INCOME & EXPENSES, then Employment expenses.
