Quebec’s Graduated Licensing System
QC uses a step-by-step system designed to gradually help prepare new drivers for the responsibilities of the open road. It's managed by the SAAQ (Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec) and covers three stages:
1. Learner’s Licence
The first step begins with passing a knowledge test, based on the Road Safety Education Program (RSEP), on road signs and driving rules.
Once issued, the learner’s licence will be valid for 18 months, during which you will need to drive with an accompanying driver with a full licence (for at least 2 years).
You are not permitted to drive between midnight and 5 a.m. and must maintain a zero blood-alcohol level at all times.
Probationary Licence
After holding your learner’s licence for a minimum of 10 months and successfully completing a driving course, you can take the Class 5 road test to move on to a probationary licence.
Probationary drivers are permitted to drive alone but need to follow strict rules, including a zero blood-alcohol level and a penalty point limit of 4.
This stage typically lasts for 24 months, during which your driving behaviour will be closely monitored for safety.
Full Class 5 Licence
Once your probationary period has finished without major infractions, you’ll automatically receive your full Class 5 licence.
This removes most restrictions and allows normal driving privileges, with standard provincial laws (e.g. demerit points, impaired driving rules) applying as usual.
The Class 5 Road Test
The key step that moves you from a learner’s permit to a probationary licence. Designed to ensure you’ve developed safe habits, and can confidently handle everyday driving situations in Quebec.
Test Focus
The examiner looks at how well you manage:
Intersections, traffic lights, and stop signs
Parking skills (including parallel and angle parking)
Reversing (straight line and three-point turns)
Lane changes and merging in both light and moderate traffic
Note: Unlike later stages of driving in Ontario, highway driving is not part of the QC exam.
Why Routes Matter
Practising real SAAQ routes near your chosen test centre helps you become familiar with the exact streets and traffic patterns you’ll face, boosting confidenc,e and reducing any test-day surprises.
Quick Tips for Success
Spend extra time on parking practice - it’s a core part of the exam.
Always check blind spots - use proper shoulder check technique before changing lanes or turning.
Keep to posted speed limits - examiners often test you in residential or school areas where limits are lower.
Stay calm and focused - treating the drive like any normal safe trip.
