Hi All,
It's been 4 days since i have landed in Canada and its been so far so good.
I need your help to find the smartest way to get to a G License.
I say smartest because the smartest way may not be the cheapest way to start with but eventually i would save money.
I called up MTA and they said since i have more than 5 years driving experience in India i can give me written exam and pass vision test to get the G1 license. Then when i am ready i can give the road test for the G license.

I have a few questions related to money and locations, i will ask the location question first
1) I know we have to register in advance for the road test but do we need to register in advance for the for the vision and knowledge test too?
2) I am in mississauga and i know i have to go to Brampton for the driver's test in the future, but do i have to go to Brampton for the knowledge exam and the vision test too? If no then any website links where i can find locations within mississauga where i can give the knowledge as well as the vision test?

Now the money questions:
1)Everyone has told me that by taking the approved drivers training course my insurance will come down. Assuming this to be true i will have to spend $854 including taxes for that course. $854 was quoted to me by a company near to where i live. Is this quote reasonable or am i overcharged?
2) If i get a G1 then how much do i pay. Do i have to pay $125 and get a G1 license and then pay seperately for a G road test. I am confused because i will not take a G1 road test but directly a G road test.

Finally any website/link that some of the questions i can find in the exam. :-))

Thanks all for your help.

Thanks,
Chittesh

No. It's a walk-in

If no then any website links where i can find locations within mississauga where i can give the knowledge as well as the vision test?

You don't have to go to Brampton for either test. You can take the test anywhere in the province.

Now the money questions:
1)Everyone has told me that by taking the approved drivers training course my insurance will come down. Assuming this to be true i will have to spend $854 including taxes for that course. $854 was quoted to me by a company near to where i live. Is this quote reasonable or am i overcharged?

I feel you're being overcharged. With rising gas prices, the rates may have gone up, but not that much. I may be wrong here. I would look around and call a few other places.

2) If i get a G1 then how much do i pay. Do i have to pay $125 and get a G1 license and then pay seperately for a G road test. I am confused because i will not take a G1 road test but directly a G road test.
Now you only pay the initial fee which is around $75. You don't have to pay for the G1 test. When you go for the G2 exit you'll have to pay for that separately, around $75.

Goodluck......and welcome to Canada !!!

Since you're landed, could you change your location.
