In Ontario, Canada to apply for a license you must be at least 16 years old and pass a vision test and test of your knowledge of the rules of the road and traffic signs. After you pass these tests, you can get a Class G1 or M1 license. New drivers earn full driving privileges in 2 stages and have 5 years to complete the G1, G2 or M2 program and graduate to a full G or M license.

In the information we have read on this topic, we have not seen that you cannot apply for both your G1 and M1 at the same time so it appears it is possible. You should check with the Ministry of Transportation, www.mto.gov.on.ca, to be certain.

To apply for both licenses you will need to read both the Driver's Handbook and the Motorcycle Handbook. With a G1 license you have 6 conditions while with a M1 you have 4 conditions to follow.

You must spend a minimum of 60 days with a Class M1 license, which is valid for 90 days. At the end of your M1 you must pass a Ministry-approved road test to move to level 2, the M2.
