Topic:
Exchange a Foreign Driver's Licence in Ontario

Hi,I want to exchange my foreign driver’s licence for an Ontario one. I have 25 years of previous driving experience and want to gain credit for it on my application to take the G road test immediately.

My country does not have a drivers licence exchange agreement with Ontario and also does not issue any type of official letter of authentication as outlined on the DriveTest website.

My foreign (Kuwait) driver’s licence is in English and contains details such as name, date of birth, photo, blood type, stamp and seal. It also has the expiry date on the front and the very initial date of issuance on the back (confirming my 25 years of driving experience).

Can I present my foreign driver’s licence to a drive test center in lieu of a letter of authentication?

Will they accept it as official proof of having over 2 years of driving experience and waive the G2 Test requirement?

Also, do I need to notarize a copy of my licence and submit it with a printout of my driving history?

Appreciate any advice, thanks.
