1. You have two months after you move to Ontario to change your license. Until then, you can drive on your foreign license.

2. In Canada, it is called CAA, see http://www.caa.ca/index_caa.cfm

Leon, I am new here and admire your knowledge about issues pertaining here. What can you say about one leaving for Canada on a TWP, but changing his status just before his departure, say, getting married? If his wife follows him on a separate TWP which she got after applying as single, will it be a problem to them later if they live together in Canada? Thanks!

It could be seen as misrepresentation of some sort if one of them later wants to apply for PR. Why don't they just arrive together with their work permits and announce their marriage as they enter Canada?
