New to Canada Drivers

Our school requires that each client must hold a valid current ICBC DL# British Columbia Driver’s License Number. Licenses from other countries may allow you to but you must provide a valid ICBC DL for our school. This ensures full insurance coverage of $5,000,000 on our cars. 

SPECIAL NOTE: If a class 5 license test is failed there is a delay time of 14 days, 30 days and 60 days for your 1st, 2nd and 3rd fail attempt. Additionally you will loose your ability to drive alone on your international license. Many New To Canada Visitors are surprised when ICBC takes their home country license and stops them from practising on their own, forcing you to be with a licensed qualified driver. Please do not be surprised by this.

Two In Car Front & Rear Cameras

Additionally, we protect everyone with dual video cameras both front and rear of the car, in case of a collision. Video footage will have no connection to a student record nor any identity to a client’s identity nor any reference that breaks privacy rights.
