You can also apply for an Ontario driver`s licence as a new driver. You must follow the process for new drivers, including the progressive licensing system. If your country is not mentioned above, you must pass a full knowledge and road test to obtain your driver`s licence in Canada. The first step is to pass the knowledge test in each ICBC office and correctly answer at least 40 of the 50 questions. Then you have to pass your road test. If you already have more than two years of experience, you can apply for a full Category 5 licence. If this is not the case, you will need to apply for a Class 7 novice`s license. If you have less than a year of driving experience in the last three years, you can only get a G1 learning licence and you have to go through full waiting times to pass each new driver`s licence exam (8-12 months to go from a G1 to G2, 12 more months to go from G2 to G2). If you have more than two years of driving experience, you immediately get a full Class 5 driver`s license. Individuals with less than two years of experience can obtain a “Class 7” licence and can then apply for a full “Class 5” licence if they have two years of experience. Foreign experience is charged on the amount of two years. If you have a foreign or non-foreign driver`s licence, it is only valid for the first 60 days of arrival in Ontario. You then have a legal requirement to obtain an Ontario driver`s licence from the Ministry of Transportation.
Otherwise, a fine could be imposed. You can take the G1 or G2 road test immediately. If you succeed, you will get the next license in the progressive licensing system. For example, if you pass the G1 test, you will receive a G2 license. If you pass the G2 test, you will receive a G license. The G licence is a full-fledged driver`s licence. If you are not allowed to exchange your licence, you can still use your multi-year driving experience as a credit to skip part of Ontario`s graduated license program. With more experience and support documents, you can skip more waiting.
Licensees in these countries must provide these documents: apprenticeship or beginner licenses cannot be exchanged. However, they can still receive credits for previous experiences and thus move more quickly through Ontario`s licensing structure. To exchange your foreign license, you must go to an Ontario DriveTest Centre where you do: Normally, a new driver in Ontario must complete the full program with mandatory testing and wait times between each step. The fastest part of the program to get a full G license is 20 months. The information below relates to people with driver`s licenses in countries where Ontario does not have a licence exchange agreement. No matter where you immigrate to the world, if you have driving experience, the Ontario government has made it easier for you to access your full licence faster than going through the process from the beginning. Be sure to do your research to find out what exchanges or credits you are entitled to and what documents you need to provide to finalize your application. Good luck!
