Hello, What was your experience finally? I am in a similar situation and about to land and I know how it could take a while to get a response from them. What was your experience? Was it a problem at the border or do you have to correct it compulsorily before landing? I saw the link someone...

The OWP fee is $255 (be careful when paying because it's two separate fees, $155 + $100, and most people mess up by only paying $155). As for the driver's license, yeah that can be a pain. I'm from the EU and I forgot to look into and get an international license so I had to do it all over...

TO GOD BE THE GLORY I LANDED IN THE CITY OF WINDSOR, ONTARIO, CANADA WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS we came in last week, lagos-istanbul-toronto via turkish airline (we booked 3 months ago to save huge cost). @ Toronto airport immigration, no mention of proof of fund. just signed our COPR and asked for...

Screech, thank you very much for this detailed info on the process.

hallo! I read a lot of posts the past couple of days. Me and my husband are still PR, but do not meet the residency requirements. We are from a visa exempt Country. I have a few questions and I would appreciate your help: - Do we need a travel document to go back to Canada? - if we enter...

I finally received my OWP in the mail yesterday so I went straight down to the licencing centre to get my drivers licence and health card! YAY!! I can officially drive - now we need to buy a second vehicle! LOL! I'm so happy we got the first stage out of the way, now we've got to worry about...

Dear friends, with reference to my previous post, here is my check list (partly) as some portion (pre-departure and landing) has been cropped). As I was to live in Richmond Hill/GTA, my research centred around this area. Hope its helpful. All of this information is copy/paste from from some...

I am British and had my British driving licence. Here is my experience: 1) if you are a qualified driver, your brain will adjust (adapt) quickly to the shift from left to right road driving skills. This is not an issue at all but common sense. 2) if you are a driver, you don't necessarily need...

guys let me give you my experience here with ICBC in Vancouver....They do not recognize International Drivers License (IDL) for Class 5 drivers license application (They only accept that as a license to drive for 3 months) so you will have to do a road test be given a class 7 license and go...

Hi Kate, My wife is British and we lived together in Quebec through the entire outland process. We applied through the Paris office just before she left France, where she'd been living. We never had to apply for an extension, because she travelled back to Europe briefly at one point and got a...

For a 15 day "soft landing" your home country licence + IDL is all you need to have to rent and drive. There is no benefit in entering the Ontario licencing system until you are permanently resident. If you are looking at places to live, here's a bit of unusual advice. Don't consider what a...

Thanks so much! That's reassuring overall. It sounds like ICBC employees may be unsure about the particulars of driving restrictions imposed on foreign licence holders - or at least, inconsistent in the advice they give. Quick question: By "...it does mean that is how long you have to get your...

Go to another Drivetest center, if your licence is attested by the consultate they have confirmed it's genuine. Whoever was sitting at the counter was not in a receptive mood. They have no business criticising any other nations driving license 'security features' specially if the local embassy...

Don't think you can extend it without a US address. They most likely set the expiry date based on your visa. 1) If you can find your US license, you should be able to exchange it for a full license without any issues (assuming you have 2 years of xp). If you have 1-2 years xp, you'd get the...

As above not unique to Alberta. Guess you could always report the India licence as lost and apply for a replacement even though the legality of doing so is questionable so your decision given assume you are PR in Canada so Canada rules apply.

Since i'm assuming ICBC is specific to BC, it makes sense that certain discounts will not apply unless you can prove you have a BC license. This suggests the driver is a BC resident, which is probably a requirement for those discounts. I was unable to insure my car in Ontario without an...

Hello gurus, Please i have spent time looking for discussions relating to my situation but did not find such however if i might have missed it, do point me to the right links/discussions. I landed in 2015, did not have a job till summer this year when i started consulting however i have been in...

That is an interesting question. If you have your driver's license exchanged in Great Britain and that license is the exact same license that residents of Britain would receive, I don't think you would have a problem at all. However, if you have less than 2 years of driving experience...

...before and I didn't plan to fake it. I do have a bank account while we landed 2 years ago but not the other things like the tax form, drive licence or health card. I got our situation well explained in a letter and provided the proof that I quit my job in my home country and some bank...

sorry, yeah i didn't explain my situation. My husband is a Canadian who born in Canada, worked in HK for several years and in April 2015 he was being relocated back to Canada while i was 4th months pregnant. We submitted Outland application (via hk office) at early April and we had arrived...
