Hi, Driving licence is the most important thing in the beginning to start your life in Canada . If you have an Indian license , go to your local RTO office and get the NOC certificate , in which it should state that your license has been issued on so and so date as per their record. They do have the format about this NOC certificate. After having this NOC letter it will help you allot in Canada. You can directly go for the road test ( depends in which province you are going to reside )
Take a letter of your driving experience (should be more than 24 months atleast) from your local RTO. Then once you reach Canada, you have to give written test (G1) which is easy to pass and then straight test for full driving licence (G licence) .Your in between test (G2) gets waived off if you show them the letter of experience from INDIA. So it saves you time and a test as well otherwise first G1, then G2 and wait for 1 year to give G test.
Once you will go to the office you have to write a letter regarding the NOC. There are many small khokes outside from where you can get the printout of the performa of the application. You have give your driving license photo copy. thats it. No other requirement.If you will show this letter to ICBC in BC then you can directly appear in class 5 road test rather appearing the class 7 road test. But before that you have to appear the written exam after that you can go for class 5 road test. Otherwise you have to wait at least one year to appear in class 5 road test.. Written exam is quite easier there. As you have said you have 5 years of driving experience in India ,this letter will definitely help you.
so this is the whole information. ..when I posted this thing on page 3119 then lots of forum members give me this info I hope it will help you...
