My EXPERIENCE in getting "G" driving license
Before I came to Canada, I contacted NJ DMV by filing online form to provide me Date of Issue of Driver and Abstract History. Date of Issue of Driver application should be sent by postal mail. Make sure to also have all the expired licenses with you.
I went to the Oakville,ON drivetest area. Service Ontario wont provide you with your first driving license.
Once I reached the booth, I provided her with my active driving license, all the expired driving license and date of issue of driver that I received from NJ DMV. They took all my driving license and gave me the "G" license.
Things to keep in mind:
- If you dont have all the expired driving license (because you disposed them or any other reason), fill the form D0-11 form and send it to DMV using postal mail and ask for all the copies of driving license you had over the years. They will charge $15 for every copy they send it to you. You need to select the option as "Copy of Driving License Application". So in my case I renewed my DL 4 times over the years but I didn't had 2 of DL. So I paid $30 ($15 each) to receive the certified copy of the driving license that was missing.
- If you have all the expired driving license then you just need the abstract history. You can order that online or through mail.
They will require the continuity of all the driving license that you had over the period of years.
