Hi,gurdeep although i dont ve any personal experience but it happened with my brother who used to drive with his international driving licence for some months.I dont know the exact period but one thing s for sure tht u can drive with ur VALID international driving licence for some period.i think some other landed immigrants could also make some input.Good luck .

Hi

Are you talking about regular driving licence or international driving licence to drive for 60 days, because international licence is diffrent than that of regular.

Thanks

Hi,

Per Ontario rule, Any driver licence issued outside Ontario be it issued at e.g Alberta (In Canada) or even India (International Driver Licence). Is valid for 60 days only and individual need to apply for Driver licence as fresh in Ontario.

PCHC is right.

In ontario you can drive w/ any foreign license w/in 60 days.
Acctually you can even apply straight as a G2 license providing your foreign license translated in english if it wasnt translated and another valid ID such as passport.

Are you sure one can apply directly for G2 licence provided they have valid international licence?
Are there any other benefits of already having international licence in Ontario?
