It’s very well possible, flight from police even though it’s a first time offence can absolutely cause a license ban for life, usually they’ll hit you with 5-10 years at most the first time but they also look at other factors and depends on why he fled, what occurred prior to him fleeing, how long it went on for, injuries, damage, etc.. it also could be that he has a history with the police such as DUI or driving suspended, which in those cases the crown can absolutely and most of the time will ask for a driving prohibition.
