How to Get Your Motorcycle Licence in Nunavut (Class 6)
Nunavut licenses motorcycles under Class 6. You start with a Class 7 learner's licence at age 15 — a written knowledge test, a vision test, and ID. At age 16, Class 6 applicants answer further written test papers (a failed part is rewritten on its own, not the whole exam), plus a vision test and road test. Exams are based on the Nunavut Driver's Manual and are by appointment only, booked in person at any driver examination office.

The Nunavut path at a glance
Class 7 learner's licence → written tests, vision test and road test → Class 6. The steps below walk through what each stage requires.
Step by step
- Get your Class 7 learner's licence. At age 15: a written knowledge test, a vision test, and ID. This is your starting point before the Class 6 process.
- Class 6 exams are based on the Nunavut Driver's Manual. Pair it with free practice tests on the same topics so nothing on test day feels new.
- Pass the Class 6 written tests. At age 16. Class 6 applicants answer further test papers beyond the base written test — if you fail one part, you rewrite only that part, not the whole exam. Exams are based on the Nunavut Driver's Manual, by appointment only at any driver examination office. Our Canadian road signs guide illustrates common Canadian signs with pictures.
- Ride with a Class 6 holder. You need a Class 7, 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 licence and a Class 6 holder with you — on the motorcycle or following and keeping you in view. No riding after sunset or in speed zones of 70 km/h or more. All riders must wear helmets.
- Pass the vision test and road test for your full Class 6. Motorcycles of 90 cc or less may not use highways outside a municipality or settlement, or roads in zones over 50 km/h — a rule that applies to every rider, not just learners.
