USA to Canada License conversion

[Prashant_ved]

Hi

I have USA-MA license from since Oct 2016 and prior to that CT license from April 2014-Oct - 2016. I was able to pull the driving history of my MA license but its not completely 2 years so requested CT driving history via mail which will take around 2-3 weeks to get it. I have the printout of the CT license tho.

Now the question is when I go to DriveTest now based on my MA driving history will they be able to convert the Canadian full G license (since its not completely 2yrs) or do I need to wait until I get the CT driving history?

Thansks

You need to specify which provincial license you are applying for

It would be for ON

You can get the full license but you will have to do a road test, or you can wait to get CT history in which case the road test will be waived and you will only have to do an eye test.

You can also drive on your U.S. driver's license in the mean time depending on your residency status.

I know a colleague who moved from US last yr had a US driving license and Statefarm Canada offered him the insurance.
after few months of driving he converted his US DL to the CA DL(Ontario).

He must have car from USA or he bought it in Canada?
I sold my car there.

The insurance companies can always provide you with a quotation if you are eligible to drive, regardless of what type of license you have. If you see that a particular insurance company is not offering you coverage on your US license, then this is their own policy they might have deemed your risk profile to be high but it doesn't mean that you can't get insurance somewhere else. You can try getting other quotations from different providers.
