Hi, I hold a G2 drivers licence issued in Ontario and I would like to apply for an Enhanced Driver’s Licence. Is this possible or do I need to have a full G licence to apply?

2. Can I get an EDL if I hold a novice class driver’s licence? Yes, G1, G2 and M2 novice class driver’s licence holders are eligible to apply for an EDL. However, having an M1 class licence alone is not acceptable.

Do you have Canadian passport ? because PR is not eligible

Thanks for replying. I have dual Canadian citizenship. Also, my driver’s licence from my home country is in my married surname.
In Canada, I never legally changed to my married name so all government documents including my Canadian driver’s licence are in my maiden name.
The Ontario Enhanced Driver’s Licence (EDL) Citizenship Questionnaire, section 2, asks to list all other names including nicknames used in the past or that I’m using now that appear on any of my personal identification.

Do I need to mention my married surname here? The reason I’m asking is that all the personal documents being submitted with my EDL application are in my maiden name. Appreciate any advice.
