Open ProvincesNew drivers in Saskatchewan: graduated licensing stages and minimum ages
The graduated driver licensing stages of Saskatchewan: minimum ages, how long each stage lasts and the main restrictions, from the official pages. Switching a licence from another province is on our driving page.
Stages, minimum ages and restrictions
Three stages: Learner (Class 7, 9 months), Novice 1 (6 months) and Novice 2 (at least 12 months, clean of at-fault collisions, convictions and suspensions); at least 18 months as a novice after the Class 5 road test. Minimum age 16 (15 in the high school driver education program); parental consent under 18. Mandatory training before the road test: high school program (30 hours in class, 6 in car) or SGI-certified instruction (6 hours in class, 6 in car). Supervisors must have held a licence for 365 days in the past three years and not be novices. Novice 1 allows one non-family passenger.
These are the standard rules for passenger vehicles. Stage lengths, ages and restrictions are changed by regulation and some sources conflict, as noted: confirm with the licensing office before booking a test. If you already hold a full licence from another province or country, different rules apply (see our driving page). Rules, fees and programs change and were read on 2026-11-14: confirm with the official source. General information, not legal advice. Quebec follows its own rules: see atlasquebec.ca.
