Drive IQ Canada

Canada has no single driving test, so we wrote prep for every one of them.

Drive IQ Canada covers G1, SAAQ, ICBC, Class 7 and every province, in English and in French.

A look inside Drive IQ Canada.

Learning to drive in Canada means learning a different handbook depending on where you live. Ontario's G1, Quebec's SAAQ exam, British Columbia's ICBC knowledge test and a long list of others share a purpose and almost nothing else.

Drive IQ Canada is built province by province and territory by territory. A question about speed zones in Quebec is checked against Quebec's own handbook, not borrowed from somewhere else, and answers are verified against the official material of the province they belong to.

Written for Quebec, not just translated for it

The app is fully bilingual. That is easy to say and hard to do well: a translated question can quietly stop matching the rule it was meant to test. So the French content is written and checked on its own terms, against the SAAQ's wording rather than an English original.

Beyond the family car

Passenger cars are only part of the story. Drive IQ Canada also covers motorcycles and the commercial classes, so the person preparing for a Class 1 gets the same care as the person preparing for a first licence.

An index that says when it does not know

We publish a Driving Index that compares provinces using real data. Where a province does not have enough information to rank fairly, we leave it unranked instead of inventing a number. We would rather be honest than tidy.

Who it is for

Drive IQ Canada is for new drivers working toward a G1, a Quebec learner's licence or the equivalent in their province, newcomers exchanging a foreign licence, motorcyclists, and people preparing for commercial classes. It works for English and French speakers alike.

What is inside

Practice for all thirteen provinces and territories, in English and in French. Cars and light trucks have more than 2,500 questions, motorcycles more than 1,900, and there is a separate commercial track for every province and territory, plus a road signs trainer. Each province's questions come from its own official handbook, so what you study is what your province actually tests.
