Yes, many New Canadian drivers can drive on their countries license for a certain period ( 90 days, six months other ). At some point, you will need to pass a Class 5 ‘N’ driving test. Here is the SHOCKING part. For some, you can drive alone here in British Columbia on your country’s license. […]

This is one of the most common questions I hear from my clients during a driving lesson. I think it’s based on a common learning style of searching for the answers, hence knowing precisely what the exact route is, is the content that’s required to succeed. So many believe. Each test center contains a standard […]

Experienced drivers from many other countries come to Vancouver and must pass a second-level Class 5 (N) driving test. Many are highly experienced drivers and move past parked cars 10 cm or less from the side of our car. My heart jumps every time this occurs. They parallel park and we swing into the parking […]

Believing that a failure is not for you, brainwashes your brain into never […]
