As a UK citizen i currently hold a full UK driving licence.

My question is : Can i drive a normal car in Canada on my UK driving licence ? If not do i need to apply for an international licence or take a driving test in Canada ?

Any help is most welcome :)

Thank you.

1. As a visitor, you can drive on your UK license.
2. If you are an emigrant you have to exchange it for a license in the province where you are residing.
