Quebec Driving School Association: Assurance Automobile Du Quebec

Le Journal De Montreal Dept: The move comes after an investigative reporter at le Journal de Montreal, posing as a young driver, was able to buy a certificate within minutes at six different schools several of them in the new immigrant neighbourhoods of Park Extension and C te-des-Neiges, according to CBC. Driving lessons were made mandatory in Quebec two years ago, and the Quebec Driving School Association said it learned of improprieties among certain problematic schools not long after the change took effect and quebec's automobile insurance board, la Societe de l'assurance automobile du Quebec, is shutting down six driving schools in the Montreal region, after reports they sold course completion certificates without requiring students to take their courses. The certificates, normally awarded to people who have undergone ten hours of theory, allow the bearer to obtain a learner's permit. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
