Hi guys.
I have 2 questions:

1) Can I rent and drive a car with a Sharjah driving license in Canada or do I have to get an International Driving Permit.

2) Where can I get an experience letter for my driving license in Sharjah so that I can apply directly for a G2 license in Canada?

Thanks for your help in advance.
 
For them its a UAE license. YOu need to have international driving license.

No need for exp letter. Your issuance date of driving licence speaks itself of expereince & more than enough for G2

Could you please specify is this comment based on your opinion or a previous experience?
Because i have a driving license from Qatar but i have seen many people in this forum stress on getting experience letter in order to get a shot at G2 or direct G license.
 
Most of the other forum members have stressed getting such a letter. I got it today from the Vehicles & Drivers Licensing Department in Sharjah for AED 100.
 
My personal experience is ..I had Abu Dhabi Licence from UAE & had no issues with it

Nice to hear from that! because my driving certificate/history was already expired.. I am here in Edmonton Alberta, i'm about to give my UAE driving license + expired driving certificate/history. Hope they will accept it.

In addition, i have an international driving license. Do i still need to surrender this one?

Thanks
 
My experience...

Gave UAE lience and got accpeted for G2 liecnse.

Had International license but didn't tell any one ..I guess no need to inform either..BTW Int'l license has 1 year validity
