The Ontario G license and its New Brunswick equivalent—Class 5—serve similar purposes, authorizing drivers to operate regular passenger vehicles, but they differ in the graduated licensing process and testing structure. Ontario uses a three-tier system: G1 (written test), G2 (basic road test), and G (advanced road test), typically completed over a 20–24 month period. In New Brunswick, the system includes a written test and a Class 7 Graduated License that progresses to a full Class 5 after 24 months or sooner with driver training. The restrictions on new drivers also vary; for example, New Brunswick imposes stricter curfews and passenger limits during the learner and novice stages. Additionally, the G license requires a more comprehensive highway driving test compared to New Brunswick’s Class 5. Despite these differences, both licenses are mutually recognized across provinces under Canada’s reciprocal agreements, allowing licensed drivers to relocate without restarting the process.
