How to Get Canadian Driving License -for Newcomers

[MasterBlaster]

Hi all last Friday I passed my G driving test. I took the test at Victoria Park centre. I had taken the letter ffrom Dubai-RTA and the authorities allowed to appear for G directly. In between, I took 3 classes of one hour each to get an idea of local driving rules

Many congrats. I am also appearing for my G road test at the same center in a couple of weeks time. What time slot you selected for the test? What was the test route? Can you also share what kind of things examiner asked you to do? (e.g. three point turn, parallel parking, uphill, downhill, etc).

Thanks.

Hi All,

I just moved to Toronto from France and need to get an ontario's driving licence. I was just wondering if I can do that exchange at a Service Ontario or I would have to go to a DriveTest. Since there is none downtown, it would be easier to do it a a Service Ontario

Thanks

Dear All,

I currently have a UAE drviving liscence, but living in KSA... the thing is i'm afraid to exchange my UAE one with KSA driving liscence and wouldn't be able to get a certificate that indicate years of experience driving in KSA, as i don't think i can get this service here in KSA

note that i don't have any more a valid UAE residence visa, thus i can't get this certificate from UAE!!

pls throw some light on this issue.

Many thanks

Does international license issued from Pakistan will be of any credit in Vancouver

Yes, it can save you the trouble of going through the 2 years graduated drivers license program where for the first year, you would as a beginner only be allowed to drive with a fully licensed adult at your side.

You need to get your license translated by an approved translator.

For BC, see http://www.icbc.com/driver-licensing/moving-bc/moving-dl/other_most and http://www.icbc.com/driver-licensing/moving-bc/driving-experience

Hi all,
My wife just landed and she has with her international driving license from Indonesia. My question is can she drive right away before processing the PEI driving license? Any comments would be appreciate. Thanks

According to http://www.gov.pe.ca/tir/index.php3?number=20138&lang=E she may drive on PEI with her license for up to 4 months after she became a resident.

It is fair to have a driving license before sitting in the driver's seat in Canada . You are required a passport size photo and an address proof to submit this application to provincial motor vehicle branch, once you have obtained make sure you renew it on a regular basis over a period of six months.

This is only applicable to PEI, right?

I do not know who this user is or where he gets his info because you do certainly not have to renew your DL every 6 months in PEI. Go to the link I posted above. It says that a learners license is valid for 2 years and a regular license is valid for 3.
