At what age can a person obtain a full Class 5 driver's license in Manitoba?

A person can obtain a full Class 5 driver's license in Manitoba at the age of 16. This allows new drivers to have the opportunity to gain driving experience and skills before reaching adulthood. By 16, they are legally allowed to hold a full license, which provides full driving privileges, meaning they can operate any vehicle without restrictions that apply to younger, novice drivers.

In Manitoba, the licensing system includes a graduated licensing program, where new drivers start with a Class 7 learner’s permit, then advance to a Class 5 intermediate license, before eventually obtaining their full Class 5 license. This structured approach emphasizes safety and skill development as drivers progress through the stages of licensing.
