What type of vehicle requires a C or F license for operation in Ontario?

In Ontario, a Class C or F driver's license is specifically required for operating larger vehicles, including buses and ambulances. These types of vehicles are considered to be commercial vehicles that have specific requirements for safety and handling due to their size and the number of passengers they carry.

Operating buses or ambulances involves a greater level of responsibility, as drivers must manage the safety of numerous passengers or patients, along with the complexities of driving larger vehicles. The licensing process for a Class C or F includes additional training to understand the unique handling and safety protocols necessary for these vehicles.

In contrast, passenger cars, light trucks, and motorcycles can be operated with different classifications of a driver’s license (Class G for passenger vehicles and Class M for motorcycles), which do not include the same level of requirements as those for buses or ambulances.
