Do I need to surrender my Indian Driver's License when I apply for a G1 License?

I have an Indian Driver's License, but I have been living in Canada for the last few years and have not used it. I was going to apply for the G1 license (written test), and then eventually take the G2 and G road test.

Yes. You'll have to surrender your Indian licence in order to get your G1. It's illegal to hold more than one jurisdictions license in Canada.

Do I have to surrender my Indian DL?

Yes, you'll need to surrender your Indian Drivers license after you pass your Drivers test and in return, you'll receive a Class 5 driver's license.
Although it's not legal to hold on to both Indian and Canadian driver's license, you can get your Indian drivers license re-issued when you visit India.

No. Please dont since none is giving any weightage for your indian driving experience and it is illegal to have 2 DL in different provinces in canada but there is no issue of having indian licence besides who will give you a DL on arrival in india unless you are the DC of a district. So....just store it carefully. You will need it someday.
