Automatic CPI-based fee increases for driving instructor licences scrapped

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice

The provision that automatically adjusted the driving instructor examination fee each July 1 in line with Ontario's Consumer Price Index has been revoked. Previously, the exam booking fee was set to rise annually based on CPI changes, with any negative result resulting in no change. That mechanism no longer exists, so the fee will remain fixed unless changed through a separate regulatory amendment. Driving schools, instructors, and anyone booking licensing examinations should note that future fee changes will require explicit regulatory action rather than happening automatically.
