I Heard You Will Have To Be 16 Now to Get Your Learners License in Alberta, instead of 16 is this true?

Question

I Live in Alberta and IM 14, has anyone heard about this rumor that uyou have to be 16 to get it now? And when will this happen? Please help!

Answer 1

Everything that I can find shows that you can get your drivers license at the age of 16........

Answer 2

In the Province of Alberta, the minimum age for a Class 7 Alberta Operator's Licence (Learners) is still age 14.   There has been no discussion about this actually changing.

However, due to the Alberta Graduated Drivers Licence program you must maintain a class 7 for 1 year prior to upgrading to a Class 5 (which if you get a class 7 at 14, you're not gonna be able to get your class 5 until your 16 anyways so it's not a big deal)
