Paved roads stop about 100 miles or so north of the provincial/territorial borders, with the exception of Highway 1, 4, 2, and 5 (the ones north through the Yukon to Alaska and Inuvik) and some roads around Yellowknife, in the Northwest Territories.

Gravel/dirt roads (and snow/ice roads in winter) continue right up to at least as far as Inuvik to the west ... and some of the outlying mines and communities on the north side of Great Bear Lake (about 400 miles north of Yellowknife).

Roads go as far north as the ocean, but normal vehicles don't drive down them. You hire a tour car to take you.

As for the North Pole...you can't drive to the north pole because there is an ocean in the way.

Well, the Dempster Highway runs to Inuvik. I think that's the northernmost regular highway you can drive on.

The ice roads, formed in the winter if there is thick enough ice may go further north, I'm not sure.

The farthest north you may stress in Canada is to Inuvik, NWT, that's the north end of the Dempster street that starts off outdoors of Dawson city, Yukon. that's a gravel street that's risky to stress interior the iciness via ice. in case you stress it in summer season, deliver protecting outfits against mosquitos, undergo spray, and spare tires, and assume your windshield to be broken via flying rocks. additionally deliver foodstuff of path because of the fact it takes approximately twelve hours and there'll be hours in between any human settlement. Plan time to get out and hike, on the grounds which you will see lots of the main alluring surroundings on earth!
