Do I need a car licence before a motorcycle licence in Saskatchewan?

Yes. SGI requires every first-time rider to be at least 16 (with parental or guardian approval under 18) and to hold a Class 5 or higher driver's licence before entering the MGDL program. The Learner, Novice 1 and Novice 2 stages each take a combined total of 12 months, to a maximum of 24.

What tests do I have to pass to ride as a motorcycle learner in Saskatchewan?

Saskatchewan does not use a single written test for the learner stage. You must pass a basic knowledge test on the rules of the road, a road-signs test, a motorcycle-specific knowledge test, and a vision test, with each knowledge test requiring 80 percent to pass. After those, you must either complete SGI-approved motorcycle training or pass a basic ability road test (identifying the controls, starting, stopping, turning, and balance) within three tries before you can ride as a learner.

How many questions are on the Saskatchewan motorcycle knowledge test?

Three separate exams, basic knowledge, signs and motorcycle knowledge, each graded at 80%. SGI does not publish the number of questions. The test is administered by Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI). No time limit is published.

Do I need a separate test for the motorcycle licence in Saskatchewan?

Yes. You need a Class 5 or higher licence first, then three written exams: basic knowledge and signs (both from the Saskatchewan Driver's Handbook) and a motorcycle knowledge exam.

Do I need this test if I already have a licence from another country?

It depends on where your licence was issued. Saskatchewan exchanges licences from some countries with no road test, credits your driving experience in others, and requires the full test for the rest.

Everything to know about the Saskatchewan SGI Class 6 Knowledge Test

Saskatchewan's motorcycle knowledge test is the first step toward a motorcycle endorsement under SGI's Motorcycle Graduated Driver Licensing (MGDL) program. It covers motorcycle-specific operating rules, traffic laws, and safety considerations, and it's administered by Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI). Three separate exams, basic knowledge, signs and motorcycle knowledge, each graded at 80%. SGI does not publish the number of questions. No time limit is published.

Motorcycle riders face a different risk profile than drivers of enclosed vehicles, and the test reflects that. Expect questions on lane positioning, scanning well ahead and behind, and how to handle road hazards that matter far less in a car: gravel patches, painted lines in rain, oily intersection centres, and metal grates.

Saskatchewan law requires riders and passengers to wear approved, properly fastened helmets meeting at least one of these standards: ANSI, British Standards Institution, CSA, DOT (FMVSS 218), Snell or ECE 22.05. Riders in the MGDL program must wear a three-quarter, modular or full-face helmet. The handbook covers protective gear in detail: long sleeves, long pants, over-the-ankle boots and full-finger gloves are recommended on every ride.

A pre-ride check of tires, brakes, lights, chain and fluid levels is basic safety on any motorcycle, especially after winter storage.

Saskatchewan: rules to know

In Saskatchewan, motorcycle licensing runs through SGI's Motorcycle Graduated Driver Licensing (MGDL) program, and you need a Class 5 or higher licence before you start. The learner endorsement takes four tests: a basic knowledge exam and a signs exam (both from the Saskatchewan Driver's Handbook), a motorcycle knowledge exam and a vision test, with each written exam graded at 80 percent, then SGI-approved training or a basic ability road test passed within three tries. Learners may not carry passengers, tow, or ride from half an hour before sunset to half an hour after sunrise, and must display a red L placard; every MGDL stage has zero tolerance for alcohol and drugs. An experienced driver who registers a blood alcohol content over 0.04 faces a roadside licence suspension; over 0.08 is a Criminal Code offence.
