Hi everyone,

Can I buy my own car and get insurance in BC while I'm on visitor status? I'm from Hong Kong and waiting for my PR to approved in BC right now. Me and my financee just moved back to Canada and I am here with my visa free 6 months status as a visitor, my fiancee just got a car and have insurance for all family member who has a driving license for more than 10 years. I have my Hong Kong driving license for more than 10 year and now i'm using my international driving license. I'm wanting to buy my own car and will need to get the driving test done after 6 months living in BC. My Hong Kong driving license cannot switch to a BC license so my question is

1. Can I buy a car now with visitor status?
2. Can I get insurance if i'm driving my fiancee's car?
3. Do I have to get a learner license and need people to be with when I'm going to do the driving test?
4. Do I need to put my new driving sticker on my car and for how long?
5. After I get my new driver license in BC, am I equal to a new driver in Canada even I have over 10 years driving experience?


It will be a pain in the ass if everything need to start all over again.
Thank you very much!
