How to Get Your Ontario License in Ontario?

Ministry of Transportation Ontario first introduced Graduated Licensing in 1994.

The main purpose of this system was to lower accident rates amongst new drivers and to lower down insurance costs. With the two-step licensing system the MTO brought in changes that affected new drivers.

The two-step licensing system is one of it’s own kind in North America and has proven affective in many ways.

Will I get my G2 right after completing the program?
Once you join the program you are at liberty of completing it anytime before your G1 exit road test.

I recently moved to Ontario do I still have to go through G1 and G2?
If you have moved to Ontario from any country other than Japan and United States and you have more than two years of Driving experience then upon showing your license form your country of origin your waiting time after G1 and/or G2 is waived, you also have the privilege to directly attempt to do your G2 exit road test to obtain you Ontario G class license (only one direct attempt is permitted).

In case you are unsuccessful in passing you G2 exit then you have to pass G1 exit and G2 exit to get you regular Ontario G class license. If you have moved from any other province of Canada and you have had your license for less then two years it will be converted into Ontario G2 class license which means upon passing a G2 exit road test you can have Ontario G class license.
