Hello

For the past year and a half I've been living in Quebec.

I'm planning to go back to Toronto where I used to live in August, 2016.

While in Quebec, I obtained learner's license (Permit d'apprenti) but before August, I won't be able to complete and do my test in order to obtain a full driver's license.

So, I'm planning to do that when I get back to Toronto this fall.

How can I go about converting my learner's license without having to starting from scratch?

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

According to the ServiceOntario website in the Exchange an out-of-province driver's licence section,

You cannot exchange:

[...]

-a learner’s permit or novice-class driver’s licence from another province, state or country


In this type of situation, it may be best to contact the DriveTest at their Toll Free Number 1-800-489-8450 to speak to a Customer Service Agent to find out what your options are in this situation.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
