Thorough Training for New Canadian Drivers
Supporting newcomers as they safely transition to Ontario roads
Our Program
Welcome to Canada — We’ve Been in Your Shoes
As immigrants ourselves, we understand just how overwhelming starting fresh can feel. From finding a home and job to navigating education, health care, and a new climate — everything is new, including the rules of the road.
That’s why we created the New Canadian Driver Program — a clear, supportive, and culturally aware training experience that gives you the tools and confidence to drive safely and legally in Ontario. We offer more than just lessons — we provide guidance, reassurance, and a sense of community.
TRAINING PROGRAM
Newcomers’ Driver Training Program
Whether you already hold a driver’s licence from another country or are starting from scratch, we’ll help you:
Understand Ontario’s licensing requirements
Learn and follow local traffic laws
Prepare for and pass your G1, G2, or G test
Practice real-world driving safely with one-on-one coaching
You may be able to exchange your current licence if your home country has an agreement with Ontario. If not, you’ll need to complete Ontario’s testing process — and we’ll be with you every step of the way.
