Driver license

[robfis]

I have a question please: does a driver license need to be renewed after 5 yrs?
Are they checking residency status at renewal again?

I see from your other posts that you were in BC. According to http://www.icbc.com/driver-licensing/renew-replace/renewing-licence/renewing-dl they don't ask for proof of residency, just 2 pieces of ID and your fee.

Regarding driver's license,

I have my Korea license and I know that I'm able to change it to a Canadian one.
However I think there's a line saying that I should exchange my driver's license within 6 months entering Canada or something...

I immigrated to Canada in 2002... so that doesn't work and plus I got the license last year so 6 months is over..

Has anyone heard of such rule when you need to change your driver's license from another country???

You need to exhange it usually within 3 months of arrival if you are driving. If you have not been driving, it doesn't really matter. You should try it anyway.

Hi

Is your Korean License still valid?
If not, you may need to start the process afresh here.

I hope you are not from DPRK (North Korea) because you cannot exchange the driver licence. ;D

Hey all

Yes, my Korean driver's license is still valid. Should I give it a try for renewal?


P.S. I'm from the Gangnam Style part of Korea lol

Dear Leon

I finished my study in Toronto and left in 2002 as a visa student.

My driver's license from Ontario has been since Mar, 2003.

Now, I am going back to Vancouver Canada as a PR this Dec.

Do I have to re-take the test and start all over again in order to get my driver's license in BC? Or I can just renewal it?

thank you in advance

I arrived on LMIA based WP with my family (Husband, Spouse, 2 Kids). My wife received Temporary Resident Visa to stay with me until my WP expires. May I know if my wife is eligible to get a driver license.
