Hi,
I'm on a visitor visa in Alberta for more than a year, how can I drive LEGALY?
I see everywhere that a tourist "may drive a standard passenger vehicle in Alberta for up to 1 year ". What happens after that? because I can't get a provincial license because I'm only a tourist...
 
Since you are only visiting, can't you visit another province after you are done with AB?
 
Looking at your older post, you are Canadian citizen. Then you just apply a AB driver license.

Just wanted to make it easier and avoid dumping unnecessary info on you - My wife and I are in Canada and our sponsorship isn't confirmed yet due to covid extensive time, so she's a visitor here.
I have a local driving license and she drove with her International license, but it'll expire soon and we're trying to figure out what to do.

So the question is about her :)

As per my knowledge, she will not be allowed legally to drive a vehicle in province on TRV with IDP for more than one year.

There is no alternative other than sitting on a passenger seat with you.

According to the website, students can continue using their licence from home province or territory if they

  • studying in Alberta at an accredited educational institution,

So this is one option to continue drive legally until she became PR.
