Questions

Do these schools teach truck licences?
Most do not: the Ontario list is of beginner driver education schools for car licences, and the Nova Scotia list does not say which classes a school teaches. For Class 1 and Class 3 schools, see truck driving schools.
Where does this list come from?
From Ontario’s list of government-approved driving schools (Ontario Data Catalogue) and Nova Scotia’s list of driver training schools (Nova Scotia open data).
Why are other provinces missing?
Only Ontario and Nova Scotia publish their driving schools as open data. Others will be added when their lists are available.
How many schools are listed?
1,588, most of them in Ontario (1,485).
