How can we help you?

Unfortunately at this time other than for initial registration we do not have a partial payment online feature, this is something we are working on to get in the future. When you are wanting to make a payment please call 705-730-1130.

You can start our course without having your G1. You still have 1 year to complete the course. You can also start the course when you are 15 years old, however we do recommend that you start within 3 months prior to your 16th birthday so you have enough time to complete all the required components of the course within the year.

Our virtual SafeStart program consists of 3 days virtual classroom via online Zoom technology. The 4th day will be a full day in our simulation lab once it is safe to do so. You can register for the online, virtual classroom on our website or by calling 705-730-1130. Once students have completed all 4 days of the program as well at 10 hours of HomeLink online training, they will be assigned to a driving instructor for their 10 hours of in vehicle lessons.

Once you have completed the in class portion, you will need to complete your 10 hours of online work and any outstanding balance must be paid. Once you have all of these completed please contact the office so we can assign you to an instructor according to where you live and book lessons with you.

Once you start the course the Ministry gives you 1 full year to complete 20 hours of in class, 10 hours of online and 10 hours of in vehicle. You can go at your own pace to complete the course within the 12 months. **Please note that due to COVID-19, the MTO has allowed for an extension to this time frame if you have already started your course or are taking a virtual online course during the epidemic.
