Québec licence eligibility: where to start

Write down the licence class you need, your current licence jurisdiction and whether you are applying for a first licence or an exchange. These facts affect the process. Use the official eligibility page to determine which instructions apply, then confirm the identity and supporting documents accepted for that application.

Do not assume that advice for another province, a friend with a different licence history or an older document list applies to you. Ask Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ) about an unclear case before booking or paying. This guide does not infer your eligibility from a practice score and does not replace the authority's decision.

Québec’s Class 5 route includes driving-course steps as well as SAAQ’s own knowledge and road tests. The school assessment leading to a learner licence is not the same appointment as SAAQ’s later knowledge test. Identify your completed stage before trying to book the next service.

SAAQ directs knowledge and road-test appointments through SAAQclic. Check the current account, file and eligibility instructions before selecting a date. Resolve access or accommodation needs with SAAQ; never enter government authentication information into a practice site or assume that taking practice questions creates a licensing file.

SAAQ links its reference guides, course modules and illustrated-question guidance from the Class 5 page. When revising an illustration, identify the road users and applicable controls before selecting an answer. SAAQ explicitly distinguishes its quiz from a replica of the official knowledge test; use practice to expose gaps, not predict questions.
