The exam consists of 25 questions to be completed in 30 minutes. The passing grade is 80% and can be retaken until passed. Upon completion of this examination, you will be awarded the opportunity to complete your practical (or driving) examination. An officer will accompany you and direct you to visit five (5) addresses in the City of Iqaluit. A passing grade on the practical portion of the examination is 60%, or 3/5 locations correct.

Once you have completed, and passed, both the written and practical portions of the taxi examination you can complete your taxi business license application form.

After payment, you will be required to bring the proof of payment to the Municipal Enforcement office in exchange for your Taxi Drivers Permit and Vehicle Permit.
