27. A probationary licence is valid,(1) if it was issued before 17 January 2010, for a period of 2 years from its date of issue, if the holder is under 23 years of age. In the case of a holder who is 23 years of age or older, a probationary licence is valid from its date of issue until the end of the day preceding the holder’s 25th birthday; or
(2) if it was issued on or after 17 January 2010, for a period of 2 years from its date of issue.
Despite the foregoing, a probationary licence obtained subsequently to a probationary licence that was cancelled by the Société or at the holder’s request is valid for the duration that completes the period determined in subparagraph 1 or 2 of the first paragraph, as the case may be. Where a probationary licence is suspended, its period of validity is extended for a duration equal to the duration of the suspension, but not later than the end of the day preceding the holder’s 25th birthday, if the licence was issued under subparagraph 1 of the first paragraph.
A probationary licence issued to a person referred to in section 92.0.1 of the Highway Safety Code (chapter C-24.2) is valid for the duration that completes the period determined in subparagraph 1 or 2 of the first paragraph, as the case may be.
