Canadian driving license after one month expired US license

[mantrip84]

Hi,

I recently moved from US to Canada. My driving license expired 3 weeks back and I couldn't renew it because NJ state has automatically extended all driving licenses expired in July-August 2020 till the end of the year. Its there on NJ DMV website also.
Now, my local DMV was closed and I couldnt get the driving extract for last 5 years. However, I do have last two physical licenses, one from NJ of past one year, and another from Illinois for past 4 years.
Will any of these going to work?
Also, what if I order diving history online from sites like References-Etc? Should they be helping here? Please let me know.

The service location is starting from tuesday(8th sep). https://drivetest.ca/
So you can call and ask them as they should consider since the disruption is worldwide. But i expect their negligence and not cooperative.
good luck.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Based on past experience what do they usually offer with just expired driving license and no history extract?

I am not sure what they would do without history extract as i never tried. Thats why i am asking you to first call them to find out.
I was quoting my bad experience during when i had the extract.

I agree they should either validate by themselves or take what we are providing.

One more clarification here. Since you mentioned about asking history from MI. How did you get that while in Canada? Did you sent someone in person or just sent it over email?

I received it in US address but i think that they can send it to Canada but not experienced. So we will have to wait for other members to confirm if they have received it to Canada.
