Hello, My wife entered Canada 1st of September and use an international driving license issued from Germany. According to Quebec SAAQ, she can use it for 6 months and then usually has to ask for the Quebec one. The problem is that on a visitor or "implied status" as we have, that doesn't work; no way SAAQ can be aware we are "officially" in immigration process. To add to the problem, our insurance company will stop insurring her 1st of March as they already extended up to 6 months. Anyone knows what to do in that case ? I really don't want she stop driving the car  thank you |

I really don't want she stop driving the car thank you I had that same problem, but when I applied for a visitor extention for the second time, they extended it for 2 years. I had to have my driving record sent to licence branch. In order to get a licence you have to prove you are able to be in counrty for over a six month period. The licence will only be good for as long as your stay. I would see if they can extend your visitor staus for a period long enough untill your aplication is approved.. |

"they extended it for 2 years?.. my husband visited SAAQ and they told him that they cannot issue a driving license without PR... his international driving license will end in 2 weeks... help! Basicaly when I first moved here with my partner my Passport, and American licence was good for 6 months. Then we had to file a visitor extention to remain in Canada. When we were approved the extention was only good for another 6 months. I went down to get a BC licence, but they would only issue a temp licence because my visitor extention was only valid for 6 months. they will only issue a BC licence if your valid to stay for 12 months. So we applied for another visitor extention a month before it expired and explained we are going to apply for PR as common law. When they (CIC) sent back the 2nd extention it was valid for 2 years. So I took that to BC licence branch and had to have my driving record from the states sent to the BC branch. I then recived a BC licence..I know its very frustrating...I cussed several times...lol Hope this helps.. |

Im not real sure about Quebec laws about obtaining a licence, but it says on their site http://www.saaq.gouv.qc.ca/en/driver_licence/exchange/temporary_residents.php That you still can drive on a county of origin licence...but on the bottom it says "If you decide to settle in Québec, you are allowed to continue driving with your permit for the 6 months following your settlement. After this period, you are required to hold a Québec driver's licence issued by the Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec if you wish to keep your driving privileges." I wish I could be more help, . |

I am not sure about Quebec, but my husband drove with his Australian license for 3 years in Ontario...then he got pulled over. The cops that pulled him over had no clue what to do (they actually looked at his license, ran it through and told him his 'international license' was good) then recommended he have it switched to an Ontario license within 6 months...he was able to do that in a matter of 24 hours...he was out of status at the time all that happened  |

Hey Kdmosco... Well what happened is that I was denied then I appealed to the federal court. But I got married and submitted the application before I was denied for the appeal. However I have to report every month to the CBSA. But I proposed to my wife before I had the hearing for the refugee. But we got married after I was denied the refugee claimant. What did u submit to them as proves ?! I know they won't believe me it's a genuine marriage but it is, however I just want to know what should I submit more ?!
hello Aiman! i didn't submit anything different from what was required with the application... i actually think i should've submitted more pictures, but i think if they have doubts, you'll get the interview, and that is your chance to prove your relationship is genuine... hope all goes well! it's been almost a year since i submitted my application and i haven't received absolutely anything from them, so i'm still just waiting to see what happens. good luck! |
