I'm in Nova Scotia... Our class system was introduced 25-30 years ago. Before my time. This is basically a cascading system.
Class 1 is for tractor/trailer and supercedes all other licences with the exception of school bus and motorcycle.
Class 2 is for motor coach.
Class 3 is for straight trucks with a Gross weight over 14 tonne.
Class 4 is a chauffeur licence for taxi's and short busses.
Class 5 is the standard licence that everyone gets and is restricted to a vehicle weighing up to 14 tonne.
Class 6 is a motorcycle licence for someone who doesn't have a class 5
Class 7 is a beginners licence and
Class 8 is a Farm tractor licence that you can get at age 14 and will qualify as a beginners licence at age 16.
All except the Class 1 are restricted to towing trailers of 4.5 tonne unless you have a heavy trailer endorsement.
Air brakes are dealt with on a separate test here as you could have a class 5 licence and legally drive some vehicles with air brakes depending on the registered weight...
Motorcycles are dealt with as an endorsement IF you have a licence higher than a Class 6.
School buses are dealt with strictly as an endorsement in addition to having the appropriate class licence for the particular size bus.
It seems a rather complicated system, but it's been more or less working for us...
