New To Ontario?
 
If you have a driver's licence from an other country, your previous driving experience may help you to get an Ontario driver's licence sooner. An International driving licence will not help you in demonstrating your experience, thus we recommend you not to bring an International licence with you. If you have your driver's licence for more than one year and less than two years, you will be eligible for G2 (pre-complete) road test. If you have your driver's licence for two years or more, you will be eligible for G (complete licence) road test. Click here to view all license types.

You should bring along with you a confirmation letter from licencing authority to support its authenticity. If you do not have the letter, you should get one created by your consulate or embassies. Some times Consulate or embassys take over six months to issue the letter. (It will be convenient if you can bring a letter with you from where your driver's licence was issued). If it is not in English or French, it is to be accompanied by a written translation from a qualified translator. Click here to view a sample of the confirmation letter. If you do not bring a letter with you, your may be eligible for G2 road test, but not for (G) complete licence.
 
If you are a new resident of Ontario and have a valid driver's licence from another country, you can use that licence for a maximum of 60 days in Ontario.
 

Above policies do not apply to drivers from the following jurisdictions:

  • Canadian provinces and territories;
  • Canadian Forces Europe;
  • U.S. States (with the exception of Arizona, District of Columbia, Illinois, New Jersey and Vermont);
  • Austria, Belgium, France, Great Britain, Germany, Japan, Korea, and Switzerland.
If you hold a controlled class licence (A,B,C,D,E,F) from a Canadian province or territory, you may exchange your licence for the equivalent Ontario class of licence (a class B or E licence will be exchanged for a class C or F licence respectively).
