***Ontario Driving License***
- Thread starter Rossei
- Start date
Due to my situation, I am currently staying at my friend's place in another city and I do not know when exactly I will be moving out. I want to do the G2 test as soon as possible as a lot of jobs require the license. My name is not tied to any lease at the moment and my G1 still has my old address on it.
Do I need to change the address on my G1 to the temporary address, then apply for my G2 test? Will I have to wait for the updated G1 to be mailed first? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

You can ask them to change the address at the counter and you do not need to show any proof of address. I had G1 on my office address and when I passed G I asked them at the counter to change the address to a new location

Does your time driving with a United States permit count towards this as well or is it just for driving with a full license?
I don’t know the official rule tbh...
But on G1 you are not allowed to drive. So I presume if you are within the 60 days of yours landing irrespective of if you G1 or not should be fine as well.
I have driven while in the same situation as mentioned above.
I was in Australia from 2011-2016. I got my Australian license in August 2016. I left Australia in December 2016 and came back to India, and since then i reside in India. I'll be shifting to Canada in about 5 months. So my question is will they consider my Australian license from the day it was issued to me till now or will they only consider the duration i had it with me till i left the country (Australia) which would be only 4 months.
I believe i should be able to go for G1 and then straightaway for G test based on my Australian license because I've had it for more than 2 years now. My Australian license will expire in 2022. Will it be a problem as I am not a PR or a citizen of Australia and that since Dec 2016 i have been living in India?
Any suggestions on this.

I think you can exchange your Aussie DL(as long a it is still valid).. a lot of Indian expats who have US DL moving from US to Canada do exchange their DL
Australia
Documentation requirements (in English or French):
- Current, valid full class driver’s licence with documentation to satisfy all 3 identification requirements.
- Original abstract from your jurisdiction dated within 6 months to complete the exchange. Some abstracts may be subject to approval before the exchange can take place, and this approval process may not be immediate.
- Drivers from Australia (including Victoria and Tasmania) must provide an original abstract/letter, dated within the last 6 months, which contains all of the following features: letterhead, logo, emblem, or coat of arms of the issuing government body or licensing authority; date first licensed; name and date of birth; driver’s licence number; licence class(es); licence status; expiry date; and the date the abstract was issued. Photocopies are not acceptable. Electronic driver abstracts (e.g. obtained or transmitted by email, facsimile, or downloaded from licensing jurisdiction website) are acceptable provided they contain the driver’s full name or driver’s licence number, and the following must be contained on either the driver’s licence or the abstract: letterhead, logo, emblem, or coat of arms of the issuing government body or licensing authority; date first licensed; date of birth; licence class(es); licence status; expiry date; and date the abstract was issued. The electronic abstract must be accompanied by either a receipt confirming that the abstract was purchased by the driver, or an email from the licensing jurisdiction demonstrating that the driver requested the abstract. Electronic abstracts must have been issued within the last six months. Photocopies of electronic abstracts are not acceptable.
- Your current licence must be surrendered.
Hello,
I am a Canadian Citizen/US Citizen, moving back to Ontario, renouncing US citizenship. I have been driving in state of PA for well over 10 years. However currently I have an ignition interlock limited license. How would I go about exchanging this for my Ontario License? I have proof of insurance and claims letter indicating zero claims. My regular license is currently suspended.

I'd like to add some info. Those who are planning to Ontario Driving Licence must write the Ontario g1 test. There are lots of free materials on the g1 test practices. However, I can recommend one here: G1 Practice Tests
