From what I know each province has it's own M licence requirements and from what I hear, Ontario (where I live) is the hardest place to get a motorcycle licence.
In order to get your motorcycle licence in Ontario, you first have to take a written exam for your M1 (good for only 90 days). Next is the M1 road test, which you have to keep for 18 - 22 months before you can take the final road test for a M licence. So getting a full motorcycle licence takes a minimum of two years.
I believe it's a money grab for the government, but having experienced riders on the road is a plus.
