Obtaining your Driver’s Licence
The Ministry of Transportation of Ontario has designed a two-step approach to obtaining your full G licence, in an effort to ensure new drivers are learning all the necessary skills required to be a safe and responsible driver. The graduated licensing system includes three stages: G1, G2, and G. The entire process takes most people about 20-months to complete. Find more information on the process and restrictions involved with each stage below.

Customized In-Vehicle Training
The Key to Safe and Confident Driving
Our programs are all rooted in our 6-Star Approach to Cooperative Driving. This proven learning model reinforces good driving habits while modifying driver behaviours and improving decision making ability. Our programs focus on training drivers to be proactive and anticipate potential risks while on the road. Drivers will have the opportunity to use these skills in the simulation labs prior to getting in the vehicle.
Defensive Driver Training
We prepare our students to be ready to safely maneuver emergency situations. Discussions in the classroom about potential emergency situations like dealing with a blown tire, avoiding a head-on collision, or rear-end collision are reinforced with experiential learning in the safety of the simulator. Students experience a variety of emergency situations in real-life scenarios on the simulator where they must put their skills to practice. Emergency maneuver skills are safely reviewed during in-vehicle lessons, with exercises like gravel shoulder recovery, rear crash avoidance, engine stall, and emergency braking.

I highly recommend DriveWise for anyone looking to get their license or improve their driving skills. I did the in class and in car lessons. The in class … More lessons were a great start and informational course to my driving experience. Everyone there was always so helpful, kind, and knowledgeable and it immediately made me a safer and smarter driver. For in car lessons, I was with Johnny Le. He was an amazing, patient, and professional mentor that truly showed how much he wanted me to succeed. By joining DriveWise, I have developed a lot of experience and new skill to keep me safe and confident while driving. -
Having used two separate driving schools in the past with my older children, the experience of using DriveWise with my third and been significantly more … More positive. The communication between DriveWise and the parents was much more effective and helped me support my third through his course. The in-person sessions offered by DriveWise were way more informative and enjoyable for my third than the online drudgery my older two struggled and suffered through. Johnny Lee is an amazing, energetic, positive driving instructor who gave my third child the confidence he needed behind the wheel.

On behalf of my son, Tyson, who just got his G2 yesterday, we wanted to give an official review and let anyone reading know that we highly recommend DriveWise … More Driving School. My son's instructor was Jatinder, and she did a fantastic job. She was patient, always on time, encouraging, supportive, and very knowledgeable. Our overall experience with DriveWise has been great from the jump. Everyone is extremely communicative, thorough, and professional. Never a single issue. Thank you!
