Traffic history from Queensland?

[niswe]

I am trying to get traffic history from Queensland transport without any success. I never held Australian driving license as it was't required for people on non-immigrant visa and I could drive on my Indian DL.. Is there anyone who has successfully got traffic history from Queensland transport and/or a letter stating you do not hold Australian DL. Please help with your experience?

Just follow exactly what they tell you to do... If you want a letter stating you never held QLD license.. just include your application a covering letter stating the period you were in the state and that you require them to state you never held a QLD DL as it is an Canadian immigration requirement.

To continue the form, it asks for Australian IDs to login which I do not have.

I have the same problem, I read everything they say but I am not able to complete the F2121 form as I am not able to provide three EOI documents. The list of the EOI accepted is in the form F4362 but I only have my foreign passport and my national identity card.
Niswe did you have any luck?

I went through the process of getting my traffic history report from QLD last year. its a pretty smooth and straightforward process which you can do online or via their customer support officer. if you have problem logging into their website then i would suggest talking to their customer support office and they would help you with that. you can make payment via credit card and the reports can be mailed to you . in your case you will get a letter stating that you never held a QLD driving licence. in my case since i had a QLD driving licence , I had to get a letter from SPER stating that i dont have any fines due along with my traffic history report and a police certificate from the QLD police services stating that i dont have any criminal charges. it took lot of digging around from my end as there was no information available on the internet and this is the reason i decided to write this blog for any future PR applicants who are in a similar position as i was.
if you held a driving licence from any other state in Australia it would have been fine to just get a police clearance certificate and that would include your traffic offences if they are of criminal in nature but for QLD its a typical case as traffic offences including drink driving is not a criminal offence. in canada drink driving is a criminal offence and thats why CIC/ IRCC is mainly concerned about if the PR applicant had ever been caught while driving under the influence of Alcohol. i would strongly suggest to supplement your documents with as much information as you can from various departments as its better to have more information rather than less in which case IRCC/CIC will ask for additional information.
since i held a QLD driving licence i had to accompany my traffic history report with a letter from SPER stating no fines are due and also police certificate from QLD police services along with the Federal govt police certificate to substantiate my case and avoid any doubts which may rise in CIC case officer.
i will summarize what i mentioned above and please keep in mind this is not a comprehensive list of docs as CIC may request additonal docs based on case by case basis.
1. QLD Traffic history report(if you didnt held a QLD driving licence then fill release of information form and you will get a letter stating that this person never held a QLD driving license.
2. Police certificate from QLD police and Australian Federal police
3. letter from SPER if you held a driving licence.

i hope this information will put you in the right direction.

Hii...Thanks for sharing the information, its really helpful. I have a similar case. My husband was in Australia, Queensland and he had a Driving license (Type L) i.e learners license. However, he never drove there and so no fines. Yesterday, I applied for traffic history report and as you mentioned the process was very straightforward and no complications. I applied online and paid $ 24 and the report was generated right away. The details like name, license duration and Australian address was mentioned on the top. The report said "no recorded traffic history for the above period". I selected date range from 2008 to 2018. Is this report sufficient along with the police clearance or do I need anything else.

Your response would be much appreciated..

HI Smriti,
I am glad i was of any help to you. the date range ideally should include the entire duration of stay in Australia till today. this wont raise any doubts in the mind of officer processing your PR case. if you check the IRCC/CIC website for information regarding police clearance from Queensland / Australia it doesnt mention much and just asks for traffic history but CIC will get back to asking for additional documents. Also get a certificate from SPER which is a QLD state judiciary concerned with collecting any dues. This is a very easy process which can be done over the phone and free of charge. this will clearly state that you dont have any dues related to the driving licence. Canadian immigration when asking for traffic history is concerned about whether you have any criminal charges related to your traffic history and whether you have any dues towards the Australian govt. QLD is a typical case where this additional documentation is required apart from the Federal police clearance otherwise if you would have resided in any other state you should have been fine with just the police clearance.

my main purpose of contributing to this blog was to help any future applicants with this information as there wasnt much information available when i had to go through the process.

You can go to your nearby QLD tmr office and they will issue it within minutes.
Include the day you arrive in Australia to present
