if you had the us license for more than 2 years, you can simply exchange your license for a full G license. You will only have to do an eye test at service ontario office. If you are just vistiting canada then yes the us license is valid. I exchanged my us license for a full g license here in ontario.. i only did the eye exam...

The actual process is province dependant.

Importing car is pretty simple if you follow all the steps. The whole deal can be completed in less than a week.

 - make sure with RIV that your vehicle is admissible here(http://www.riv.ca/VehicleAdmissibility.aspx) or call 1-888-848-8240

 - Get a recall clearance letter from your vehicle manufacturer

 - Fax your Title to the US Customs & border  3 days prior to crossing

 - Cross with your car, pay tax, and RIV fee - you'll get what is known as form 1 (this acts as your temporary tag in Canada)

 - RIV will email you what is known as form 2 within 24 hours (This will enable you to go do the inspection )

 - After the inspection go to Service Canada to register and get licence tag

 - ALL DONE
