Same here....Ontario Canada but was 40 years ago. Show up on a Sunday morning to a liquor store parking lot on a 4 lane street......one guy sent us out in packs of 5.....watched us turn right onto road then left at next traffic light. We rode around a back street out of sight and observed as we made our left back onto the main road at another light. Turned right into parking lot. Took like 5 minutes and I got my full license. Back in those days there was no such thing as a graduated license. We called it a "365" but it was a written learner's permit and you could book the "test" for your full license right after you passed the written "365".

I think in all it took like a week ...from writing the learner's permit ( multiple choice questions) to getting my full license. Fortunately I had at least 10 years of riding under my belt already....mini-bikes, trail bikes and motocross.
