Local tips

Ottawa's Canotek centre is in an office and business park at 5303 Canotek Road in the east end, close to Shefford Road and Montréal Road. DriveTest lists the office as Unit 14, so look for the unit number when you arrive. The office is open Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The streets right outside are quieter business-park roads, but within a few hundred metres you reach the lights at Canotek and Shefford, then Montréal Road and St. Joseph Boulevard, which are wider arterials with faster limits. Highway 174 ramps sit just north of Montréal Road, so practice merging and reading ramp signs. Séraphin-Marion Public Elementary School is very close to the centre, so watch your speed on school days. Ottawa's other DriveTest centre is on Walkley Road if you need another booking.
