Ontario sets two road tests
That is not the Canadian norm: eleven jurisdictions set one. The two tests do not assess the same thing, and passing the first does not prepare you for the second.
First: do you need this test?
Moving to Ontario with a licence from another country? You may be able to exchange it and skip this test.
Test 1 of 2
G2 road test
The first of Ontario's two road tests. DriveTest calls it the city test: everyday street driving, no highway.
Test 2 of 2
G road test
Ontario's second road test, and the one that ends graduated licensing. It includes a highway component, which is what makes it different from the G2.
After the last test
Passing the G road test gives you a full Class G licence with no graduated licensing conditions left to clear.
Official resources
Where to book, what to read, and where your province sits.
