So when I did my driving test in Quebec I never had to do any highway driving (confirmed with family who may have done their test more recently than 25 years ago), but  in Ontario you definitely have to merge onto the highway at highway speeds on your test. I got dinged for that on my dinky motorcycle which isn't super good at doing 100 km/h.

In Ontario, it depends on where you do your driving test...   In rural parts of Ontario that are not near a controlled access expressway, drivers do not go on the highway during their test.
