hi, I am planning to exchange my US license in Ontario, can you confirm if an address proof is required. I will not be having any address proof when I plan to visit the Drive test. I will be having a friend's address though for them to mail the physical card. I tried looking up this information online but there is no information available other than identity documents. Thanks!

No Address proof required. They will ask your address though for them to send you the DL in mail which arrives in3-4 weeks. When i exchanged my US license they just asked my address and i gave my friend's address. It arrived in 3 weeks and i collected it from him
Did your problem get solved? If it did can you please tell me.I am also from Missouri and recently moved to canada.
Confirming my experience .
I am dual citizen returning to Canada. My new DL ( renewal) was issued in Michigan in 2019 and I went to ServiceOntarion in 2020 to do exchange , but I could not do exchange since the current US DL was less than 2 years old.... With my driving time in Michigan since 2002... They did not want to look at previous expired MI DL and at previous Ohio DL for 1998-2002 and at previous beautiful British Columbia DL - 1994-1998...
The point is - they do not except expired DL even it's obvious that you are "experinced" driver.
So, I had to send a request to Lansing, MI to request my official driver record showing that I was licensed in Michigan since 2002. Only with that document I was able to exchange my US DL to ON DL.
Yes, you are right. I assumed that the person I replied to is aware of the Driver record and driving experience requirements in order to exchange US license to get a G license in Canada.
Anyone who recently exchanged for a G license can you share your experience? I understand we need valid US drivers license, driver record to show atleast 2 years driving history. What else is required? Was there a photo taken at drive test location? Or do we have to submit one?

I'm wondering how I can satisfy the 2 years licensed in the last 3 years rule to get a G license:
First NJ License: Issued in March 2015 and expiration in August 2017. I moved out of NJ during the end of 2015 and relocated to Ohio. I renewed my Ohio license thrice since then till July 2019. In July 2019, I moved to my home country, India and lived till April 2021. In April 2021, I moved from India to NJ again and now having an NJ license. I will be moving to Ontario by the end of April 2022.
To summarize,
First NJ license: March 2015 to August 2017
First, second and third OH licenses: December 2015 to July 2019
-- Moved to India and used my already held India license --
Second NJ license: June 2021 till Nov 2025
Is it possible for me to exchange my NJ license for a G license ? (I've already applied for driver license abstracts from OH and placed order for DO-21 online. Also, working on submitting individual requests for both my NJ licenses using DO-11).
Appreciate if someone can shed some light in this case [where a person partially held a license from a country that has exchange agreement with Ontario (United States) and part of the 3 year time was spent in a country which doesn't have license exchange program (India) with Canada]
Cannot say about cost of insurance, but you just surround your US DL and getting the Canadian one. The DL itself and points are different things, I think.
If you have a driver's license from NY or MI then the tickets will transfer if you're registering in Ontario. In that case, you might also get demerit points per Ontario's website.
