I live in Alberta. Can I get my Class 5 if I have my Learners Permit, but not for a year, but I am over the age of 18?

Alberta has a graduated licensing system in place for all new drivers, regardless of age. It appears that you currently have a learner's license (Class 7). According to Service Alberta one must hold a Learner's License (Class 7) for at least one year to be eligible to move to the next stage.

After the learner stage you next move up to the probationary state. To become a Probationary driver you must:

  • be 16 years of age or older, and
  • pass the basic Alberta road test.

To move up to the next stage you must spend a minimum of two years as a probationary driver to be eligible to move to the next stage. To become a fully licensed driver (Class 5) you must:

  • not have had your operator’s license suspended or cancelled for the last 12 months of the two year probationary stage, and
  • pass an advanced road test.

In Alberta, Canada it will take a minimum of three years to complete the learner and probationary stages of the graduated driver licensing program, not matter your age.
