More services are resuming as the province continues to reopen, and that's good news for aspiring drivers.
As of June 25, SGI is once again offering road tests to the general public.
Appointments can be booked for all drivers who are required to take a road test for any class of driver’s licence.
Please note that only drivers who are of age and are fully eligible to take the test can request an appointment.
Drivers must first purchase a road test receipt, which can be done by calling or visiting a motor licence issuer. Once they have the receipt, drivers must complete and submit the “Road Test Appointment Request” form on SGI’s website at www.sgi.sk.ca/covid-19, under the “Driver Testing” section.
If you do not have a receipt you will not be able to book an appointment.
That is not the only documentation required; drivers and supervising drivers for Class 5 applicants must also download and sign waivers. Applicants will need to bring the waivers to their appointment.
Waivers can be donwloaded online.
SGI reminds customers that testing capacity is still limited due to safety protocols. This significantly reduces the number of tests that can be provided. Moreover, because testing has been either unavailable or restricted over the past few months, SGI expects a high demand for road tests. Drivers are asked to be patient.
Anyone who cannot get an appointment will be placed on a wait list and contacted via phone or email when an appointment becomes available.
Drivers who don’t have an urgent need to get their licence are asked to consider waiting to make their appointments in order to make more spots available to others with more pressing needs.
“We are grateful for the patience of the thousands of learner drivers who have been unable to book road tests since mid-March,” said Penny McCune, Chief Operating Officer of the Auto Fund. “Saskatchewan was the first province to resume offering road tests of any kind and we are the first to re-open testing completely across all classes. We will continue to explore ways to increase our testing capacity, with a priority on keeping our customers and employees safe and not contributing to the spread of COVID-19.”
Testing is available in Moose Jaw, as well as in Regina (two locations), Saskatoon (two locations), Prince Albert, Swift Current, North Battleford, Yorkton, Meadow Lake, Humboldt, Weyburn, Kindersley, Lloydminster, Tisdale, and Estevan.
