Short answer
In Quebec, Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ) handles it. Test appointments are booked by logging in to SAAQclic.
Canada Service Map is independent and not a government website. The official page always has the final word.

Good to know
Service outlet staff cannot book a test for you, and calling will not find extra time slots. Check SAAQclic often for newly posted slots.

If you fail the knowledge test, wait at least 28 days before retaking it. You only redo the sections you failed, and fees apply each time.

Cancel or change a road test at least 48 hours ahead in SAAQclic, or you will be charged a cancellation fee.
