I got my license.
I know there's probably a billion threads like that, but oh well, it's my first thread ever so I thought I might post it anyway. I just got my license today, I'm now free to go wherever I want. Everything went well even though I was stressed as hell. The teacher was cool so it helped a lot. I just wanted to share my happiness with you people.

Congrats, but do I understand correctly that your teacher gives you your license? Is that not issued via a representative of a third party organisation?
-
Thanks to you all!

I received it right after the final exam, when I went back to the driving school with my teacher after the test. It is given by the driving school on behalf of the SAAQ, which is the society who control licenses in Quebec. I currently have a sheet of paper which acts just like if I had the real license. I'll receive the final one with my picture and everything in a week or so.

No what I mean is whether it was your teacher who took your test...(and not somebody else representing the society controlling the license)

Oh, sorry. Driving schools work in collaboration with the SAAQ, so the teacher works in a way for the society. He has the full power to either give the license or not, and the SAAQ only confirm the decision.

No offense, but to me that is a conflict of interest. The driving school gets your money, and there are two possibilities:
The school is interested in having their pupils get their license quickly, which will give it a good reputation
or
The school is interested in your money and wants to keep you as long as possible..
(For your clarification: In Holland the driving test is done by a representant from an independent body, whereby the teacher is not in the car during the exam)

Wow, you're starting to give me a headache right now :D I don't know what to tell you, I'm just not aware of that kind of things. I agree with what you say, you could be right. I never heard of people failing for no reason though. All I know is that I passed the test and received my license, that's all I care about. I didn't ask my teacher exactly how they give licenses, I was trying to focus on what he was telling me to do (or not to do) and pass the tests. That's a good debate though, I have to inform myself.
