You should contact the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) to make certain of how you change over your Quebec Class 5 license for a license in Ontario, Canada. To the best of our understanding that a Class 5 license from Quebec would match up to a Full G license in Ontario.
If in Quebec you start with a learner's license, then move up to a probationary license and then to a Class 5 than it appear this is similar to in Ontario starting with a G1 (learner's permit) then move up to a G2 (provisional license) and finally a full G license.
In Quebec the SAAQ that says that a Class 5 is a passenger vehicle license and with it you can drive a passenger vehicle (automobile or mini-van) or any double-axle truck or road tractor with a net mass of less than 4,500 kg.
In Ontario a full G license allows one to operate any car, van or small truck or combination of vehicle and towed vehicle up to 11,000 kg provided the towed vehicle is not over 4,600 kg.

If you hold the equivalent of a learner's permit or novice license from another jurisdiction, you may get credit for your driving experience.
The MTO goes on to say that you are if you are a licensed driver with two or more years of driving experience from another Canadian province you may get full class license privileges without taking a knowledge or road test. However, you must pass a vision test and show acceptable proof of your previous license status and driving experience.
If you have less than two years of driving experience, you may get credit for your experience for graduated licensing and be issued a Class G2 or M2 license. Once you have a total of two years of driving experience, you may take the G2 or M2 road test to earn full driving privileges.

If you hold a controlled class license from a Canadian province or territory, once you are eligible to attempt the G2 road test, you must pass the road test within one year of the license exchange to be issued the equivalent controlled class license. If you pass the G2 road test after one year from the date of exchange, you will be issued a class G license.
