UAE Driving License in Canada

[Emmjay]

Hi, I have a UAE (Sharjah) Driving license. Will that be accepted in Canada?
Can I drive there using my UAE Driving license?
Or do I have to follow some procedure?

Kindly advice


regards

No, UAE driver's licences are not recognized in provinces in Canada.
You have to research how to do it in the province you would like to land in. Each province has their own procedures.

depends on whether you are on visit or PR

visit visa - you can rent a car and drive...
PR - you need to get a new license

dont worry - i've heard getting license in Canada is not the money making racquet it is in UAE so you should be fine

You'll need an international drivers permit. Rental car agencies won't rent you a car without one.
