So where are you actually resident Canada or your home country ? Do you have PR status in which case you really should get a Canadian licence no excuse.

Look up the information on ICBC... it clearly states you have 90 days - which you already know.

If you became a PR and since you're a resident of BC you're supposed to obtain a BC license.
What's the issue with that?

What do you mean by you couldn't do the license?

Depending on the country where you obtained your original license it only takes a simple switch up.

If I was you I would take care of that asap.

If you are from a country which does not have Reciprocal License Agreement with Canada, click on the second tab after visiting the link pasted above. Apart from providing the usual documents for a license switch up, you will have to do an additional test

Steps for getting your licence
If you have two years of non-learner driving experience:
Step 1:
Take the knowledge test at any driver licensing office.
The knowledge test is a multiple choice quiz that tests your knowledge of road signs and the rules of the road. You’ll need to get 40 out of 50 questions right to pass.
Step 2:
Take the Class 5 road test. Note: Bring another qualified driver with you for your test in case you don’t pass.
If you don’t have two years’ of non-learner driving experience:
You’ll need to go through the graduated licensing program. You’ll get credit for any non-learner driving experience you can provide.
