How to Get Canadian Driving License -for Newcomers

[Vigilant]

Hi all,

If we are able to get the letter from our licensing office in our home country (Philippines) is it still advisable to get an international drivers permit?

Hi,

If you want to drive immediately in Canada then you should get it otherwise not required...

Thanks,

International Driving Permit (IDP) is issued by the RTO that has issued the Driving License. Please approach them. In any case, IDP is not a prerequisite. What you need in Canada for Driving Licence conversion (from Indian Driving Licence to Canadian Driving Licence) are two documents:

(1) your Indian Driving Licence (only Card format. If you have paper based Driving Licence, please get that converted into Card)

And

(2) Driving Licence Extract (DL Extract).

Both (1) and (2) can be obtained from the RTO that has issued your Licence.

Thanks NVLN

That's mean I don't required IDL/IDP, Driving Experience

Authentication of License is enough to get G license

Hi Arun786,

No. It is not compulsory to have IDP, as mentioned in my previous response.

According to https://www.ontario.ca/driving-and-roads/exchange-foreign-drivers-licence if you have a foreign license and less than 2 years driving experience, you will be allowed to take the written exam and G1 road test and will get a G2 license. After one year, you can take the G2 road test and get a full license.

If you arrive in Canada completely without a license, you can take the written exam and get a G1 license which is a learners permit and does not allow you to drive alone. You would have to wait a year until you can take the G1 road test to get a G2 license. This 1 year waiting period can be shortened to 8 months if you attend a driving school.

Dear friends, glad to share that I passed my G road test and believe me it was a piece of cake. Full marks to my instructor who guided me so nicely. If someone is appearing recently from GTA, and needs a real honest instructor, let me know.

Yes, u can. But the DL holder has to present himself @ the counter. Or the company PRO can do the needful on behalf of the holder (in that case he needs to carry the original DL).
