You have to give G1 (written test and eye test) followed by G2 and 1 year later G ( both drive tests for ity and highway respectively). i will advice to get letter from RTO stating aiuthentication of your driving license then you will be eligible to go for G test straight away(dont have to wait for one year for G). This is the personal experience I have landed and not able to arrange the letter now.( P.S your license should be 2+ years old to be eligible for G directly)
thnx

Saskatchewan is much easier than Ontario. With a foreign DL more than 2 yrs old you can give the written test and then do the road test immediately.

If you pass you get the license, if you fail, depending on how many points you get you can either wait 2 weeks to take the test or they refer you to GDL.

Probably better you get a personal instructor to take you on 1-2 road lessons so that you know all the tricks.
