Hello,
does anyone know if a person who is on TRV in Canada can apply for driving license courses in Canada?
thank you

I am sure some driving schools allow it.  Some may require you to get a learners license first.  In some provinces, you can't get a learners license unless you are resident there so you might not be able to get a learners with a TRV.  Even if you did, because of the graduated drivers licensing, a TRV of 6 months is not enough time to go from learners to the first probational license.  Usually it takes a year, in some provinces with a driving course, 8 months.  If the person who is doing this got their visit visa extended or came for another visit later, they might be able to do it.

Could you please tell me whether Ontario is amongst those provinces where someone can't get a learners license unless he/she is resident?
thank you

You can find Ontario drivers licensing at http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/driver/index.shtml and I can't see any mention of it there.  If you go here: http://www.drivetest.ca/en/license/HowToApply.aspx it looks like you just need a passport.

There is a list of approved driving schools at http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/driver/gradu/approve.shtml and you can also contact them directly and ask for their prices and ask if they will take a TRV student.

What if one already has a driver's license from the country of origin? Would it still take 8-12 months to get the G2 license?

No, if you have a foreign license, you go through a different process.  It's explained here:  http://www.drivetest.ca/en/license/OutOfCountryDrivers.aspx
