Hello,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
It is important to look into this type of information before returning to Ontario.
You can find some information in our our Settlement.Org Is the International Driver's Permit (IDP) valid in Canada? article.
Here is an excerpt,
The IDP is primarily used by visitors to Ontario. If you plan on living in Ontario - that is, you will be a permanent resident living in Ontario - you need to get an Ontario driver's licence within 60 days of moving to Ontario.
The Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) is the government department that controls driver's licences and vehicle registration in Ontario. Call the MTO if you have questions:
In Ontario: 1-800-387-3445
In Toronto: 416-235-2999
TTY: 1-866-471-8929
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.
