Newcomers Guide to Graduated Licensing

I am from another Canadian province or territory, the United States, Japan, Korea, Austria, Australia, Isle of Man, Germany, France, Great Britain, Belgium, Switzerland or the Canadian Forces Europe - I have had my licence for two years or more

If you have a driver's licence from another Canadian province or territory, the United States, Japan, Korea, Austria, Australia, Isle of Man, Germany, France, Great Britain, Belgium or Switzerland or Canadian Forces Europe and you have been driving for two years or more in the past three years, you do not have to go through the graduated licensing levels.

To get a full Class G Ontario driver's licence without further testing, go to a DriveTest Driver Examination Centre. The addresses of these centres are also listed in the blue pages of your local telephone book.

At the DriveTest Centre, you must:

  • show proof of name and the date of your birth;
  • show personal identification that has your signature;
  • pass a vision test to check your eyesight;
  • pay the fee for the licence;
  • show proof that you have a valid driver's licence from another Canadian province or territory, the United States, Japan, Korea, Austria, Australia, Isle of Man, Germany, France, Great Britain, Belgium, Switzerland or the Canadian Forces Europe and show proof of how many years of driving experience you have.

All documents must be originals and they must be in English or French. If the documents are in another language, they should be translated into English or French.

If you can show this information you will get a Class G Ontario driver's licence without further testing!
