Local tips
In Big River, SGI runs driver exams from the board room of the New Community Hall at 606 1st Street North. Hours vary and an appointment is needed for every service, so book ahead with MySGI, a licence issuer or SGI's phone line. The most important thing to know about the location is the school next door: map data puts TD Michel Community School only about 90 metres from the hall, and Big River High School is about 360 metres away, so school-zone speeds and children crossing are likely on weekdays. There are no traffic lights in town, which means you'll be judging right-of-way yourself at many intersections. Our 8.7 km practice route uses Fourth Avenue, which is Highway 55, plus Main Street and the numbered avenues, so practice full stops, checking both ways at uncontrolled corners and adjusting speed between the highway and side streets.
Common questions
Big River road test FAQ
What are the hours at Big River?
SGI lists: Office hours vary. Appointment required for all services. Check sgi.sk.ca/examoffice before you go.
How do I book a road test?
Book a Class 5 road test online with MySGI, through a motor licence issuer, or by calling 1-844-TLK-2SGI (1-844-855-2744). If you give your cellphone number, SGI texts you reminders 24 hours and one hour before, and you can check in by text when you arrive.
What do I need for the Class 5 road test?
You must have held your Class 7 learner's licence for at least nine months, bring photo ID, and supply a vehicle in good working order (the examiner inspects it first). Bring your Driver Education Certificate if your training isn't on your SGI file. Your supervising driver waits in the waiting room during the test.
What if I fail?
SGI says you must wait two weeks before taking another Class 5 road test, and you pay the test fee again. If you miss an appointment without cancelling, you pay for the rescheduled one.
