Good evening everyone!!
First of all, I am aware this topic has been discussed at length on this forums however I have not been able to find an exact answer. Maybe someone who has gone trough the process could help guide me in the right direction. I need to swap my FL driver license for an Ontario G license, from the official Ontario website it explains I qualify for the exchange program.
"You can exchange an out-of-province licence for an Ontario licence, if you are re-locating from:
Any Canadian province or territory
Canadian Armed Forces
U.S. States
Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, the Isle of Man, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Switzerland, Taiwan"
However it mentions I can only self declare one year of driving experience without any documentation, I have been driving for much longer than that, with a one year experience I could only acquire the G1 license, at the least I would need the full G license. but to obtain the G license it explains.
"You can self-declare one year of driving experience, by showing a valid, original foreign driver’s licence. If you want to earn credit for more than one year of driving experience, you will also need an official letter from the foreign government or agency that issued the driver’s licence, confirming that the licence is authentic. This letter needs to be written in English or French."
Here comes my actual question, the official letter requirement is a little vague on the explanation. Do they require a letter from the DMV? or any other state or federal agency? Are they looking for a DL history report? I am confused as to what official document and from what source they require it to make it valid.
Thanks,
Warm regards,
