Can't swap my class 1 for the Canadian oneHello folks
I've come to Canada with a work permit (working holiday visa ) I'm in saskatchewan province. I had heard in this forum some guys who could exchange their class 1 for the Canadian one but I've been told recently by the sgi clerk that they don't do it. I just can get a class 5 (cars) and then take up the class 1 exam by myself. They even showed me the computer and it didn't allow them to select class 1 or anything else than car license. . Any help ? Cheers.
Re: Can't swap my class 1 for the Canadian oneThis is correct, you can still work but not drive a truck till you take a drivers exam. I think that's pretty standard across canada but I'm sure someone will correct me if not

Re: Can't swap my class 1 for the Canadian one
Ok thank you . I was mistaken then . Can I ask you something about the tests .I went to the sgi and they gave me 3 books. Air brake manual, saskatchewan profesional handbook and saskatchewan drivers handbook. Is that all i need to study? I don't need class 2 manual (bus ) .. right? Cheers
Can't swap my class 1 for the Canadian oneYou'll get your class 5 then you'll sit a computer theory test for class 1 and a seperate airbrake test, for your driving test you need to do a full walk round check of the vehicle before you go out on the road naming all the vital parts of the vehicle and engine/air components. That should take 20-30 mins minimum - the driving test itself is a piece of cake, get your head round the airbrake system I found that the most difficult part to get my head round

Re: Can't swap my class 1 for the Canadian oneWho on this forum told you that you could do a straight swap for a UK/European class 1 to the a Canadian class 1?

Re: Can't swap my class 1 for the Canadian oneThank you guys.
I might have misunderstood some post I read time ago. I thought I could get class 1 but yes, that's not the case.
