You can 100% get an Ontario Photo ID or drivers license while out of status. All it requires is a valid passport (from any country) as ID. I was able to secure both with no issue and I am currently out of status. If you had a Canadian license that is G and expired you can pay to have it restored, again your status doesn't matter you just need a valid passport (from any country). If you had a G2 license and it is expired you would have to start all over again by paying to restore it and starting at G1. Luckily you can get G1 same day as it's simply just a test.

I was able to open a tangerine bank account without status. Usually, they give you the option to verify ID at the post office. I took my passport and verified my ID. You could also use your photo id or drivers license to as ID to open an account.

Did your husband have to surrender his foreign license

Post is from nearly 5 years ago.

Usually you do have to surrender a foreign DL, so be prepared (and take a picture of the old DL if it's important for nostalgia reasons).

Hi Just curious, we were not sure if we had a US photo ID 5 years ago . We mentioned we had a DL in US and a photo id while applying for ontario photo card. However just realzed the agent truncated my surname in the old photo ID for no reason ( it was just 13 charac , she scribbled only 10 . Name is correct for current ID purpose) . Now while applying for PR , there is a question have you used any other name. Would this trigger any red flags. Should we get this fixed ? Already got our photo cards with correct names but worried if they check the application while applying for PR they would see last name is missing 3 characteristics in photo card application. @legalfalcon - any thoughts
