Physical examinations in Canada

In Canada, the requirement for a commercial vehicle driver to have a physical examination is not dependent on whether the vehicle the driver is operating is a commercial motor vehicle by definition. Whether physical examinations in Canada are required for commercial drivers depends on the type of driver’s license the driver holds. Typically, physical examinations are required only for drivers in certain classes of licenses. In most Canadian jurisdictions, these are license classes 1 – 4 (Class A, B, C, D, E, and F in Ontario). There are variances among the jurisdictions, however.
