Newcomer Program
Best for adults with prior driving experience or an out-of-country drivers license.
In Ontario, you must be at least 16 years of age to drive legally. No matter what your age or driving experience, we highly recommend reading the relevant Driver’s Handbook and take training lessons from a local licensed driving school prior to driving on Ontario’s roads.
*** PLEASE NOTE: Instructors are forbidden to show the test routes. (There are many different routes used for testing and students must be prepared for all situations).
