【推荐1】Ontario has 15 types of licences and each licence certifies (证明具有某种资格) you to drive a specific type of vehicle. To drive a car, van or small truck, you will need a G class licence. Here’s how you get one.

Apply for a driver’s licence

To apply for a driver’s licence in Ontario, you need to.

● be at least 16 years old

● pass an eye test

● pass a written test about the rules of the road and traffic signs

Where to apply

To apply and take the required written tests, visit:

● a DriveTest centre

● the ServiceOntario Bay and College location in downtown Toronto

Due to higher than normal volumes (量), you must book an appointment online in order to complete a written driver’s licence test.

Study for the knowledge test

Ontario’s Official Driver Handbook will help you prepare for your written knowledge test. It covers rules of the road and practical driving tips. You can buy the handbook:

● online through ServiceOntario

● at a DriveTest centre

● from many retail stores

Cost: $14.95 plus $0.7 taxes

Learning to drive: graduated licensing

Once you pass your eye and written tests, you get a G1 licence. Before you can get a full G licence, you have to:

● finish two learning levels: G1 and G2

● pass two road tests

This process is called “graduated licensing” which is designed to give new drivers time to practice and gain driving experience over time.

You have up to five years to finish the whole process. After five years, if you do not get your full G licence, you will need to start over.
