Driving in Ontario with International license

[ourcanadavisa]

Hi,

Anyone have any idea whether I can drive in Ontario with an international driving license from India? Can I purchase the car? Will getting the insurance be an issue?

1. yes, you can drive. But there's a time before which you need to get a Canadian license. You can read on Ontario's website on what time you get to drive with your int'l driving permit.
2. you can buy a car on IDP, just won't be able to drive off the dealership without insurance.
3. insurance will be an issue as it can cost ~$10k/yr for you on IDP.
