Effective immediately, bookings of knowledge tests for all licence classes and Class 1 road test bookings have resumed, Manitoba Public Insurance announced today.
Customers are encouraged to book Class 5 and 6 knowledge tests through MPI’s Online Services at mpi.mb.ca. To assist customers who either cannot or do not wish to visit an Autopac agent or service centre during the COVID-19 pandemic, MPI is allowing customers to perform certain critical transactions, such as booking driver testing services, over the phone or by email with their Autopac agent.
Safety measures
MPI has made several adjustments to the Class 1 road test process to ensure the safety of both employees and customers.
Prior to starting the road test, customers must:
- Provide and wear their own mask (non-medical masks are permitted)
- Answer questions to ensure they have not been exposed to COVID-19
- Sanitize all touchpoints in their vehicle
Knowledge tests
MPI will be asking customers to arrive 15 minutes prior to their scheduled appointment, and to check in at the front entrance doors if there is a lineup. All customers will be required to provide their identification (passport, PR card, birth certificate, etc.), sanitize their hands when they enter the building, and bring their own pen to complete the paper test.
If the customer is not able to comply with all of these requirements, the test will be cancelled immediately and rebooked for a later time. At any time, if the customer shows symptoms of a respiratory illness and/or COVID-19 (coughing, etc.), the test will be cancelled immediately and rebooked for a later time. Customers can access these updated procedures at mpi.mb.ca/covid19drivingtests.
