Hi - I have the same issue -are you able to share that ICBC email?I spoke to someone of ICBC on the phone again. This time they told me that I do need to change my license within 6 months and because they have an agreement with my home country I can swap it on the spot and don't even require a BC address. I asked the guy on the phone to please send this answer to my e-mail address, which I do have now. I will print it out and take it with me to an ICBC office. In case someone there has different thoughts about it again, I can show them the email.
