Medical standards - Northwest Territories

A licence applicant must undergo a medical examination by a qualified physician and file with the Registrar, at the time of application, a medical report completed in accordance with the CCMTA Medical standards. On the basis of this report, the Registrar will determine whether or not a certain class of licence may be issued, or if it may be issued with restrictions. Where required by the CCMTA Guide, an applicant for a licence or licence renewal must also undergo a vision test as established by the Guide for that licence class.

Restricted driving privileges:

When applied provincially, restrictions against motor vehicle operation are to be based on support from a physician familiar with the individual’s medical history, plus ageing factors must also be taken into account when considering licensing privileges. Restrictions could include prohibition against night driving, long distance driving, high-speed controlled-access highway driving, and driving only in a specific area during specific time periods.
