Hi, thanks for this. We have gone through this already. Moreover, the relevant info in regards to this is at drivetest.ca (this is official website from Ontario government in regards to DL), please see at the end of my post. My sister had G2 and her licence expired around 17 months ago. The rule said that she is eligible to get driving experience credit,
however we are not sure what happens if we have already surrendered the licence card while applying for the Ontario Photo ID. One possible way could be taking driving history, however she does not know the DL number to apply for it

Renewal Requirements for Novice Drivers (Classes G1, G2, M1, or M2)
Once a novice class — or learner’s — licence (e.g., G1, G2, M1, M2, M2 with condition L) expires, you cannot renew it. If you did not book a road test prior to the expiry date, you need to reapply as a new driver at a DriveTest Centre.
If you booked a road test prior to the expiry date:
- Classes G1 or G2: You may be able to get an extension until your road test date by visiting a DriveTest Centre.
- Classes M1 or M2: A Class M1 licence holder who books their road test before the licence expiry date may obtain a one-day temporary driver's licence (TDL) that is valid for the day of the road test only.
Please note that, if your novice class licence has been expired for less than three years, you may not need to serve the mandatory waiting periods.
