Can I use an IDL or IDP for class 1 driving in Alberta?

Hello,

Can I use and international driving licence or international driving permit as a class 1 licence in Alberta?
Even just for the first few weeks on arriving in Canada till I can take my class 1 test there. Any help or advice would be fantastic.

I don't see a reason why you can't?

If your international license is issued as a class 1, you can certainly use it in Alberta for the first three months upon arrival (that's by law).
