Regional and Provincial Rules
Whether it’s a licence from another province, a state in the United States, or an international driving permit, every province has some restrictions on using it to drive. The province wants you to eventually call it home, just as you must transfer your licence plates to your new address.
You should find out about the licensing requirements when you get there if you passed the G1 practice test and are moving to another province before taking the G2 test.
Drivers with a full licence and at least two years of experience ought to have little trouble transferring their licences to the new jurisdiction.
That is not the case if you are still a probationary driver because graduated licensing requirements vary by province.
A complete driver’s license could once be obtained at the age of 16. Now it’s a little more difficult. Canadians can often enroll in graded licensing programs at the age of 16. Though there are certain exceptions:
- At the age of 14, Albertans can qualify for a Class 7 (Learner). Like the majority of graded licensing schemes, Class 7s are required to ride in the front seat with a non-probationary driver, and driving while intoxicated is strictly prohibited between the hours of midnight and five in the morning.
- For a Class 7 license, you must be at least 15 years old in the Yukon and Northwest Territories and 16 in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Nunavut (the G1 equivalent).
- The learner’s permit in Manitoba is a Class 5L, and it has two stages before being upgraded to a full license.
- At the age of 14, New Brunswick offers a Class 9 license that permits holders to operate farm tractors and motorized bicycles. Like Alberta, candidates need parental approval..
- Saskatchewan allows high school students who are 15 to enter the graduated licensing program.
- In British Columbia, individuals who successfully complete an authorized driving course can jump to the front of the Class 7 learner’s permit line at the age of 15 and a half.
- A graded licensing system necessitates that you advance to higher levels, as the name implies. Although the titles may vary (for example, the Ontario G1 and G2 are equivalent to the Class 7 and Class 5 GDLs in Alberta, respectively), learner’s, probationary, and full licenses can all be regarded of as one type of license.
Age Limit to Drive in Canada
The age limit to drive in Canada varies by province, but typically you must be at least 16 years old to apply for a driver’s license.

- The total number of demerits
- Revocations and suspensions

Does Your Driving Record Follow You to Another Province in Canada?
Developed in 1990, the Canadian Driver Licence Compact (CDLC) allows provinces and territories to share driving records. Except for British Columbia, Quebec, and Nunavut, everyone signed it. This means that out-of-province drivers in British Columbia won’t have their driving records affected by BC tickets, vice versa.

for motorbikes traveling at top speed.
M with L (includes M1 and M2-L)
Mopeds and motorized scooters (sometimes known as “limited-speed” motorbikes) are covered by condition M with L (includes M1 and M2-L).
M with condition M
for bikes with three wheels (includes M1 and M2-M).
The Steps to Get a Motorcycle Licence
How to obtain a motorcycle license is provided here:
Step One—Take the M1 Test
Grab a copy of the motorbike manual and spend some time studying it. Then, at any driving test location, take the M1 knowledge test (multiple choice). Before you may upgrade to an M2 Licence, you must wait 60 days. If you’re a sensible person, you’ll schedule your M1 test 60 days prior to the start of your course. The M1 permit expires in 90 days, so keep that in mind!
Four requirements must be met in order to ride a motorbike with this M1 Learner’s Permit:
1) You may only bike in the daytime.
2) You must not go on any highway in the 400-series.
3) Your blood alcohol level must be zero.
4) Bicycling with a passenger is prohibited.
Step Two—Take the M2 Test
You might travel to a Ministry office and take the test there for the M2 Licence. You must bring your own bike, though, and you won’t have received the coaching and beneficial teaching that an authorized school provides.
Additionally, you will receive a certificate that will cut your insurance cost if you graduate from an accredited institution.
An in-class session is required for the M2 license course at an approved school before a two-day practical course, which is frequently over the weekend. To participate in the training, you must bring your M1 license as well as some basic safety equipment, such as a helmet, jacket, gloves that cover your wrists, and boots that protect your ankles. The bikes are provided by the school!
You will get a sealed envelope with your documents for the license upgrading once you pass the test. The Drive Test site is where you must bring that to receive a temporary M2 license. The permanent license will arrive by mail after that.
All of the riding requirements have been dropped with your M2 upgrade, with the exception of the zero blood-alcohol content requirement, which should be followed when operating any vehicle, but especially a motorbike.
Step Three-M Licence test
You can either enroll in the school once more for the entire course in order to obtain your M Licence, or you can visit a Ministry office with your own motorcycle for the test.
You are a fully licensed rider with your M Licence. To further hone your riding abilities, it is always wise to enroll in additional classes.
What Is the Difference Between an A1 and A2 Motorcycle License?
A1 Full Licence
Motorcycle riders must be 17 years old or older to obtain an A1 full license. According to the law, riders between the ages of 17 and 19 are only permitted to ride (for training and learning purposes) motorcycles with an engine displacement of no more than 125 cc and a maximum power output of 11 kW. You can get rid of your learner plates, carry a passenger, use the highways, and get some practice riding a 125cc motorcycle safely if you pass your A1 motorcycle license exam and receive your full A1 motorcycle license.
A2 Licence
If you are between the ages of 19 and 24, you are only allowed to ride bicycles with a maximum power output of 35kW. (47BhP). For this, you must pass the practical exams for your A2 license. The practical test, but not the motorcycle theory test, must be passed again if you have already passed the full A1 motorcycle license tests. A2 license motorcycles must have at least 395cc and a power output of between 25kW and 35kW to qualify as intermediate motorcycles. After earning your A2 license, you will be eligible for a full restricted motorcycle license, which permits you to ride an intermediate motorcycle without L plates, transport passengers, and access highways.
Is the CA Motorcycle Permit Test Hard?
Although the motorcycle permit test is shorter than the standard driver’s license examination, you still need to put a lot of effort into your studies to have a chance of passing it.
Can I Ride a Motorcycle in the Winter in Canada?
There are three fundamental guidelines for motorcycling in the winter:
- Never, ever ride after dark
- only go outside if the roads are clear of snow and ice
- and wear layers of clothing to be warm.
- You simply can’t see the road surface well enough after dark to determine whether you are riding on black ice or sand left behind by a snow plow. Also, the temperature will drop rapidly. Plan accordingly to ensure that you absolutely do not do it.
- When a two-wheeled vehicle encounters snow or ice, it won’t just skid as a car would; instead, it will slip out or topple over.
- Snowmobilers have figured it out, and you can too, but if you gain too much weight, you won’t be able to maneuver the bike properly.
Can I Buy a Motorcycle Without Insurance in Canada?
Motorcycle insurance is mandated by law in Canada. You, your motorcycle, and other passengers will be safeguarded by insurance. It will shield you from harm in more ways than just an accident. Theft and vandalism are also covered by the appropriate insurance policy. Depending on the province you are in, there may be differences in the exact coverage necessary by law.
To ascertain your eligibility and what coverage you require on the road, speak with a licensed insurance broker. Some of the sorts of coverages your broker may urge you to think about include the following:
- Collision
- Comprehensive
- Uninsured motorist coverage
- Accident forgiveness
Is Motorcycle Insurance Expensive in Canada?
In Canada, operating a motorcycle is thought to be riskier than operating a car, hence insurance for a motorcycle also costs more.
The typical cost of bike insurance is $2500 per year, or $208 per month.
Below are the average annual expenses for popular insurance policies in Canada for comparison’s sake:
- Home: $960/year
- Car: $1150/year
- Tenant: $330/year
- Landlord: $4000-$9000/year (depending on the type of property)
- Motorcycle: $2500/year
As you can see, the cost of motorbike insurance is greater than average.
On the other hand, a motorcycle is typically far less expensive to purchase than a car.
Hence, if you live somewhere where you can ride a bike all year long, you may do the math to determine whether you would ultimately save money (or at least for the first few years).
Having said that, a variety of factors influence the cost of your motorcycle insurance.
Can I Buy a Motorcycle Without a Motorcycle License in Canada?
Without a safety certificate, a vehicle can be bought and registered, but it cannot have its own plates or be driven.
