Why?
Because everybody someday will need a driving license to drive a car, suv, bus.
Hmmm... so how do I get a driving license
You go to one of the driver examination centre or Service Ontario and you can apply for a driving license.
Is that it?
Unfortunately no. Ontario has something called Graduated Licensing
It feels like school/college
True. Ontario introduced the Graduated Licensing program in 1994. New Drivers go through a two stage program by completing mandatory time periods for each level. You also will have to pass the appropriate road tests. Sometimes people (really only some folks) call these tests as exit tests.
Ok...now it is confusing...
There are 3 levels Level 1 (G1 or M1), Level 2 (G2 or M2 or M2 with condition "L") and full class licence (G or M or M with condition "L").
I got it, so i start with Level 1 and finally get G
Yup. You ( the new licence holder) have five years to complete the program (from Level 1 to full class licence).
I have lot more questions now
Ministry of Transportation has a set of answers to most asked questions. New License FAQ
Can I do all these at Service Ontario because that is the closest to me
Sorry. You can get some of these services at Service Ontario.
There are 270 ServiceOntario locations across the province and they provide:
- Vehicle services
- Driver services, excluding road testing
- Knowledge tests are provided at the College Park location
Where can I get Enhanced Driver's License
There are nine ServiceOntario locations offering Enhanced Driver's Licence services including Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, Windsor, St. Catharines, Toronto Downtown, North York, Kingston, Cornwall and Ottawa.
