Indian Driving Licence

Hi,
- You can not drive with Indian License, however you may opt to get an international driving license from India, if you are expected to stay for more than 3 months. Get details on following: https://www.ontario.ca/page/drive-ontario-visitors
- You can get G1 even on the very day of your arrival. But with G1 you can not drive the vehicle. And for G1 license to deliver to your doorstep probably takes a couple of weeks.
The actual process is G1 test (written test) -> G2 (driving, sort of learning what it is in India) -> G (full license).
Once you get G you can drive in city & on highway, while with G2 you can not drive on highway (of course you can drive in City).
If you have good experience in India, you can get an extract from the RTO by paying nominal fees (generally 50 Rs).
You can get your Driving License(with photo) and get a Driving Extract from the RTO.
It would help you to skip the G2 test.
You need to present your Driving License (with photo) and Driving Extract when you appear for G1 (written test).
It will save 8 months of time for you, it take from G1 to G2 and few more months from G2 to G.
Good Luck
Hi ,
Thanks for the detailed info.
Could you please let me know if 2 Wheeler licence from India will work and can I apply for g2 immediately after g1 with that licence and driving extracy
Hi,
No, it has to be a 4 wheeler license.
Once you receive the G1, you can apply for G if you have the original Driver's License and original extract from India.
Good Luck

No it doesn't. There is no 'exchange' for motorbike ratings for India (or the UK!) for Ontario. You need to take all the tests all over again (I know, I have had to do this despite having a full UK motorbike licence for 10 years).2 wheeler license would get you M (Motorcycle) license and not the G (Car).
Motorbike licence much the same principle as car.
M1 = Eye and written test, lasts 90 days and do restrictive you cant really ride - a stepping stone to take the M1 exit training and test
M2 = Take training with formal school for a weekend on a closed circuit (cones and stuff). Do test at end - this rating good for 5 years
M = Take road test once you have M2 for at least 22 months (18 months if you do more formal training with accredited organisation). Then have full, unrestricted licence.
After you surrender your orginal Indian D/L to the MTO, is it possible to get it back from the issuing RTO in India when you visit India??
You don't surrender your home country license unless you are exchanging it for a one in return (ex US license). For Indian license, you are claiming driving credits but still have to go through driving test to prove your understanding. In such cases, you will retain your Indian license.
In short, MTO will return your Indian license to you immediately after verifying it's details against abstract. So you are free to use it thereafter.

Thank you so much for your answer. Is this valid for Alberta as well?

Hi
I have the following questions:
1. I have an Indian DL along with extract but the total experience is less than 1 year. Will that be considered for DL here in Ontario ?
2. I have already given my written test today and got G1. They did not accept my Indian DL stating that the security fees has not been paid. What is the best possible solution to yhis

Hi,
Since your experience is less than a year, I am not sure that would count up for your Canadian DL.
They expect a minimum of 3 years. (Though nowhere it is mentioned, but officers in DriveTest Centre say so.)
They consider it only if you pay the fees with your G1 test fees.
Not sure what a security fees is.
Good Luck
