Farm Restricted Class 1

Effective April 1, 2024, eligible farmers and their family members will have the option to apply for a farm-restricted Class 1 driver’s licence.

 

 Upon successful completion of a Class 1 knowledge and road test, vision-screening, and submission of a driver’s medical assessment, the driver will be issued a farm-restricted Class 1 driver’s licence with condition code “P”, indicating they must comply with farmer restrictions. The driver will not be required to complete pre-licensing training.

​

The driver must meet all other requirements of a Class 1 driver’s licence, including the Air Brake (Q) endorsement. Farm-restricted Class 1 drivers may also be subject to licence code restriction “N” which means the holder may not operate vehicles or combinations of vehicles which require a Class 2 or 4 driver’s licence unless that person has completed the required knowledge and road tests as well as completed any other conditions of a Class 2 or 4 driver’s licence.

​

You are able to take your Class 1 exam in either an automatic or a manual transmission. 

​

Additional costs: registry fees, air brakes certification, driver's medical, truck rental for exam

​

​

​Course Requirements

To obtain a commercial license, you must pass registry-administered knowledge exams and the road exam as well as all training components and air brakes. You must also be a non-probationary driver and be at least 18 years of age.
