Hello people. Trust everyone is doing fine.

Please I need help/advice.My driver's license expired in February and I applied for renewal since and my husband's expired May.As at when we left in July our temporary licenses had been extended twice with promise that renewed licenses will be out in a month and were continually told there was a system upgrade in FRSC abuja which delayed production of renewed licenses.The story was still the same as at last Friday. We notwithstanding applied for a letter from the Nigerian embassy (or whatever it is) in Ontario which they stated on it that old licenses were expired and refused to state we applied since for renewal and the delay in receipt is no fault of ours. Anyways long story cut short after standing for almost 5hrs at the test centre where we went for the test yesterday, we were told our naija driving experiences of over 10years will not count until we produce the renewed licenses or we will have to follow the Canadian graduated system like new drivers. That will mean looking for a G driver to always sit with us when driving for the next 3 years or so. We opted to bring our renewed licenses and left the center. Someone just told us today again that if it exceeds 60 days after arrival in ontario, we will have to start from the scratch as new drivers. Meaning we have less than 2 weeks to sort this issue out.

Am in a state of confusion. What can we do?

Thanks

I'll advice you obtain the license from another state, or you get a one year international drivers license. I have a friend who works with FRSC in lagos. You can send me a PM for his number, he should be able to assist.

You can also come with the temporary license, my wife also submitted the temporary one and it was accepted in Alberta.

Please where in Alberta please cos i went to the Alberta registry at Fort Mcmurray this week and i was told i have to present a permanent driver's license.I am also in that predicament.

Please what specific letter would one request for from FRSC concerning driver's licence in Ontario and where can one make this request in Lagos?

Hi, I landed Ontario about same time as you did with similar licensing issues. But when i took the letter i got from the Nigerian High Commission to the drive test centre, it was accepted. If you still get the rejection from them, insist, go another day or try another drive test centre within the province.

Hi. The letter is to authenticate the license stating date of issue, expiry date, license number, years of driving and if you have a clean driving record without any suspension. You will send your letter of request to info@frsc.gov.ng

Thanks. Which specific centre did you go to? Is it true that one has not more than 60 days after landing in Ontario to get this done?

Hi Abim, find a link to all the Drive Test Centres in Ontario. I used the centre at Oakville and my valid Nigerian driver's licence was accepted last year, http://www.drivetest.ca/find-a-drive-test-centre/alphabetical_list.html
