Canadian Driving Academy Inc.

Fantastic experience: I had my G2 lessons with Li and G lesson with Sanjeev. Super nice guys. Good teaching overall. They were pretty patient to questions and my mistakes. Would recommend to others.

Negative experience: The instructor Wei Li, who speaks Mandarin and Cantonese, was so rude and so impatient when student makes a mistake. He even yelled at me because I was slow when backing into the parking spot. He said I should be able to do it quick and perfect. If I was so good at driving, why would I need a driving instructor Also, he said I’m very lucky to have him as a driving instructor because he’s very nice and very professional. This is NOT true! A professional driving instructor knows not to yell at students when they make small mistakes. It might be very easy and obvious for the instructors, but it needs to understand that the students ARE students. They are learning and do not have the same experience as the instructors. It’s very frustrating to be yelled at when you did nothing wrong. Also, he never apologized for yelling at me and even said his behavior is perfectly okay and other instructors will treat me worse. This place is intolerable. AVOID THIS PLACR AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!

Fantastic experience: Did my road test training with Adnan for G2 a year ago, then G. Adnan is very patient and good with words when explaining traffic’s rules. Passed both tests on the first try with minimal prior driving experience. Would recommend Adnan to anyone who’s seeking a patient driving instructor with a lot of experience for road tests.

Fantastic experience: I had 2 hours of in-car practice with Sanjeev for my g road test. He is very patient and teaches very carefully. He helped me a lot in correcting those minor driving issues, and thus I passed my test smoothly. 100% recommended!

Negative experience: I booked two lessons with Adnan. He used verbal abuse on my even though it was not my fault. He urged me to change lane even though it was not safe because he did not see the coming car. Then he abused me verbally. (edit.) just finished a road test. Adnan taught me the wrong thing that you signal after you check mirrors when doing lane changes. But you should signal after you check mirrors (checked with the examinor. Now I doubt with his professionality as a driving instructor. I believe there are competent coach in this place, but dont waste your money with Adnan.

Fantastic experience: I got my G license straight from G1 with just six classes. Really good trainer. Thank you Sanjeev.

Fantastic experience: I booked my classes with Sanjeev, had never driven before and was new to Canada. Sanjeev made this transition super smooth and ensured I cleared my G2 in first attempt. Prompt instructions, very encouraging and positive. I would surely recommend Sanjeev for a hassle free experience and get on the road with confidence. Thank you Sanjeev!

Negative experience: UNPROFESSIONAL reception lady. I was here to ask about obtaining a driving license, and instead she asked me about having life insurance, which is completely unrelated to the procedures of getting a driving license. Also DEMEANED my life choices of studying and Canada, working part time and taking the bus for a year. Very RUDE, and I will not be returning to complete my driving license.

Negative experience: The instructor is very nice, taught me very well and helped me pass my G2 road test, but the reception of this driving school is horrible. I first called their number to buy a G2 exit package, and the reception lady explained so poorly on the phone and insisted me to transfer the money first. I texted them for information about the transaction and asked some more questions, the lady replied extremely slow and seems don't know how to type in English (she needed more than 10 minutes to reply to one message). She kept forcing me to make a call instead so she could explain over the phone, which I really don't like. The package I ordered includes 10 in-class lessons, and I did not go to any of those because there was no reminder or any notification for where and when the classes take place. I did my on-road practices with my very nice instructor, and after I finished and passed my road test, I received a text from the same lady telling me that there is a in-class lesson happening on Friday. (Are you kidding me?) I then tried to get more information about the lessons to see if I can apply those to my G road test, and the lady told me to call her. I told her that I couldn't call at the moment, and she stopped to reply to me, no more follow ups. It's definitely better if you contact a driving instructor directly, saves money and time messing with the school.

Fantastic experience: Great experience! I took my G test with Sanjeev he took care of everything. Through his connections, he arranged for me to have the best examiner and prepared me for everything on the test. Very passionate and knowledgeable about his work.

Negative experience: it was very bad experience After a month from filling all the paper I still can't be booking appointment for no reason. I want to the center to book a rode test but the center say your name not in the system. and the school director says your name in the system. and after a month still waiting.

Fantastic experience: I did my in-car lessons with Sanjeev and he was great. I noticed a big difference in my driving after lessons with him. He taught me everything I needed to prepare for both G2 and G tests, and I passed both on the first try.

Fantastic experience: Sanjeev is a great instructor and very patient. He helped me pass my G2 on my first try without prior experience.

Fantastic experience: If you want to pass your G go see Sanjeev - nice guy who knows his stuff. Money well spent.

Fantastic experience: I had Sanjeev help me with lessons which were very useful. He was a very nice and knowledgable instructor.

Fantastic experience: I went with CDA for assistance with all levels of my license, although over a long period. The in-class lessons were thorough and easy to understand/remember, you're almost guaranteed to pass with high grades. I took my in-car lessons with Ashok back in 2013, who was an extremely good teacher. Not only was I taught everything that was on the G2 test, I was taught to drive with a high level of awareness and safety. I ended up being without access to a car up to now(2017), and my license was close to expiring. Despite this lack of experience, Sanjeev Arora was able to take me from almost clipping curbs to passing my G road test with enough skill that the examiner complimented my driving in 4 days. Beyond this, the instructors and staff at CDA have always been friendly, respectful, and knowledgeable, and they definitely seem to care about the success and future road safety of their students. They are flexible with times, locations, and other arrangement. For my initial in-class/road lessons I was allowed to pay in installments, and they were never pushy. It may be worth noting they can also accommodate international students, although this wasn't a concern for myself.

Fantastic experience: I went to CDA when my G2 license was about to expire because I needed a vehicle to take the G test with, and I wanted some lessons because I had very little experience driving, especially on the highway. In just two lessons my instructor, Sanjeev Arora, took me from inexperienced to G test ready. In fact, he was the one who recommended I only do two lessons. He didn't want to sell me more lessons I didn't need, even though he could have. And he was right, with just those two lessons I was able to pass the G road exam. I would recommend Sanjeev to anyone looking to prepare for road test in a heartbeat!

Positive experience: Had a great experience with CDA. I was doing a license exchange, and practicing for my G test. With my first lesson, my instructor was able to determine that I had enough driving experience to pass the test easily, and gave me more than enough helpful pointers that you wouldn't find in a book, and realised I wouldn't need more than two lesson. He took me to the test area, and allowed me to feel comfortable with the route, while building my confidence even more. Passed my test on the first try, and I must thank CDA for their assistance. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great instructors, very organized and knowledgable...teach everything step by step...I had no prior driving experience and I joined the Canadian Driving Academy and passed G2 test in my first attempt,...my instructor prepared me within a month to take the test and was very flexible as my schedule was very tight...I strongly recommend this academy to new drivers ...they teach everything and give you the confidence you need for the test...thank you so much to the people in this school...

Fantastic experience: 非常好的教练，帮助我一次通过路试（得分比我老公高好多，要知道我老公开车比我强很多，但因为语言的关系他找的私人的中国教练）。

Fantastic experience: I studied in this school and passed my driving test easily! My instructor was calm, helpful and thorough. Recommend this school!

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful time learning about my car and how to drive safely. I gained a lot of knowledge and perspective, that made me a defensive driver. I recommend this program to everyone, especially those who are looking for driving schools.
