Moving driving license and car from Quebec to Ontario

[Crazy5836]

We are planning to shortly move from Quebec to Ontario.

I had a foreign driving license, based on which I received the Quebec Class 5 license; we will probably move before I complete two years from the issue of my Quebec license.

I understand that I have to transfer the license and car shortly after moving to Ontario, and had some questions:

• Do I have to complete two years from the issue of the Quebec license to directly transfer the license skipping the road tests?
  (I had already been driving for 6-7 months in Quebec before I was able to even get an appointment for the license; my car was also registered in my name much earlier)
• If I have to take a road test, can I take the class G road test, or should I have to go for G2 first?
• Does it make sense for my spouse to apply for a Quebec license based on foreign experience just before our move?
  Or it would be better to wait till the move and then directly apply in Ontario?
• How much time do I have to transfer the driving license and car registration? Is it 30 days, 2 months, or 3 months? Is it a good idea to wait a few months to complete my two years with the Quebec license?

Where does it say so? And whether or not you need take road test (to get G) depends on what country driver license you are holding.

This page says :
When you move to Ontario, you can use a valid licence from another province, state or country for 60 days. After 60 days, you need to switch to an Ontario driver’s licence.

And whether or not you need take road test (to get G) depends on what country driver license you are holding.

I have mentioned in my post that I hold a Quebec license that maybe slightly shy of completing 2 years.

I don’t Think you will have problem with that 2 year thing,
As you told you had foreign driving license, so in this case saaq just added that experience into Quebec license ( because in Quebec they give probationary license for first two years) I had probationary license three months because I had 21 months with foreign driving license, so if you have regular license then you are good to go.

Did you exchange your Quebec license in Ontario?

I moved from Quebec to Ontario, I had class 5 license which was only for 4 months. When I try to exchange it in Ontario they said I need atleast 2 years of quebec experience to get G license, so they gave me G2 and asked to book G test. I gave G test and got the license.
I transferred the car within 30 days after moving to Ontario.
2 Year quebec or any province experience is mandatory to get G license. They will not consider the foreign experience. I tried at multiple Drive test center and got same answer.
