My wife's Passport reached ND April 27, 3 weeks now and no update..eCAS still says "Application Received".

It seems to me everyone was watching fprince's case and once his file is almost through, people took some time off.

No updates for me. My passport reached CHC-New Delhi on 2nd May and no updates after that. Thinking to send them an CSE after 2nd June just to remind them otherwise they will sleep on my file.

Cheers,


i agree...all eyes r on fprince :)

Does getting driving experience letter help in anyway ?
What is the procedure ?

Yes and No..which province and for long has she been driving in India?
In ON if you drive for 3 years in India you can write a G1 test and do the road test for G the next day...depends on what you want.

Usually NO...and how do you intend to send your Passport when requested by ND?
So is the plan to move to India when you get the PPR?

1. Who does the policy affect?

The policy applies to all applicants coming from a jurisdiction that does not have a reciprocal driver’s licence agreement with Ontario.

Top of page

2. What class of licence does this policy apply to?

The policy applies to Class G licences only.

Top of page

3. What are the first steps in applying for an Ontario licence?

All applicants for an Ontario driver’s licence are required to present a valid out-of-country driver’s licence, (if it is not in English or French, it is to be accompanied by a written translation from a ministry-approved translator) at time of application.

Applicants must have acceptable identification verifying: legal name; date of birth; and signature. Please visit the DriveTest website at www.drivetest.ca for a list of acceptable identification documents.

Applicants must pass, a vision test, and a written knowledge test regarding Ontario’s traffic rules, and pay all applicable fees.

Applicants must self-declare their driving experience on the driver’s licence application form at the time of application.

Applicants who fulfil these requirements can obtain a G1 licence.

Top of page

4. Where does an applicant self-declare their driving experience?

An applicant self-declares their driving experience in the appropriate section of the driver’s licence application form at the time of application.

Top of page

5. How will ‘self-declaring’ driving experience assist Out-of-Country driver’s licence applicants?

Out-of-Country driver’s licence applicants who self-declare 12 months or more driving experience will be deemed to have fulfilled the G1 mandatory waiting period. Upon successfully completing the G1 road test, they will receive their G2 licence.
Top of page

6. What are the requirements to be credited with additional driving experience?

Applicants who present a valid out-of-country driver’s licence at time of application and self-declare 12 or more months of driving experience, can return at a later date to be credited with additional driving experience provided they submit an authentication document.

Top of page

7. Where do applicants obtain an authentication document?

The applicants may obtain an authentication document from the originating licensing agency, or from the Embassy, Consulate or High Commissioners’ offices representing the licensing jurisdiction.

The authentication document must be on official letterhead and be written in either English or French. (If the authentication document is written in languages other than English or French, it must be accompanied by a written translation from a ministry-approved translator). The authentication document must be dated and presented within six months from the date of issue.

Top of page

8. What must an authentication document state?

The authentication document must state clearly that it is certifying the duration of the applicant’s driving experience, and that the applicant holds a valid driver’s licence from that jurisdiction. The licence cannot be expired or suspended.

For the purpose of crediting driving experience, translation of the data presented on the out-of-country driver’s licence may not be sufficient as the licence may only indicate the date the licence was issued, not the driver’s experience.

Top of page


9. What is a ministry-approved translator?

The ministry accepts translations made by a Ministry-approved translator. Ministry-approved translators include non-Canadian embassies, consulates, or high commissioner’s office, but do not include other translators from the country where the licence was issued.

Top of page

10. What are the consequences of making a false statement on the driver’s licence application form?

If an individual is found to have falsely stated his/her out-of-country driving experience, the individual may be subject to prosecution for making a false statement under the Highway Traffic Act. This offence carries a fine of up to $5000 and imprisonment up to 30 days (or both). The individual’s licence may also be suspended for up to six months. In addition, penalties under the Criminal Code of Canada or other laws may be applied.

For further information about exchanging driver’s licence from another jurisdiction, please visit the DriveTest website at www.drivetest.ca or telephone 1-800-387-3445 (English) or 1-800-416-4803 (French).
