Your Class 5 is your "learners" and as long as you are riding with someone with a valid Class 6, you can ride to your hearts content!

I found this site that lists the learners requirements and limitations by province.

Have fun, be safe.

Technically you only need your class 7 to ride with a class 6 rider supervising. Since the class 5 gdl is a higher class you should be good to go. Not sure how the gdl works but you do have to be 16 to ride a motorcycle. I'm sure you are.

You can ride with someone who has a Class 6 NON GDL. If they have their GDL, they cant accompany you legally. Also, They can follow or lead on another bike, be in a vehicle behind you, or on your bike with you
