Getting a commercial learner's licence

  1. Here are the steps to get a commercial learner's licence:
  2. Present one piece of primary and one piece of secondary identification at any driver licensing office.
  3. Have the driver licensing staff check your driving record to ensure you have:
    • 3 or fewer convictions in the past 2 years for tickets that carry driver penalty points
    • no motor vehicle-related Criminal Code of Canada convictions in the past 3 years.
  4. Pay the $15 test fee.
  5. Complete the application form and provide any requested information.
  6. Take the knowledge and road signs tests.
  7. Have your vision and hearing checked at the licensing office, and answer questions related to your medical health. You must disclose any known medical conditions if they may affect your driving. (See Medical Standards.) Your medical record may need to be reviewed by the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles before you receive your learner's licence.
  8. Receive your learner's licence if your application is accepted; you've passed the knowledge and road signs tests; and you do not have a medical condition that may affect your driving.
