Who can book the road test in Saskatchewan?
In Saskatchewan, driving education is mandatory for all drivers. If you are between the ages of 15 and under 18, you can complete this education through your high school. To book your road test, 30 hours of in-class instruction and 6 hours of in-car training at high school, or 6 hours of in-class instruction and 6 hours of in-car training at a certified driving school must be completed.
You must be 16 years old or older and hold your learner's license for at least 9 months to practice your driving skills before you can book your road test. When you are ready for your road test, you will need to present your mandatory driving certification to the examiner.
However, there are a few exceptions. If you hold a valid driver's license from another state or country, SGI may allow you 3 months to practice before you can take the road test. If you pass the test, you will receive your Saskatchewan driver's license.
You will need to bring your learner's permit, comfortable clothing and shoes, and any necessary vision correction devices (such as glasses or contact lenses). We will provide the vehicle for your driving lessons.
