Hello,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
We can appreciate that you would be interested in this type of information.
You can find some information regarding how to Exchange an out-of-province driver's licence on the Government of Ontario website.
Here is an excerpt,
Exchange a driver’s licence
You can exchange an out-of-province licence for an Ontario licence, if you are re-locating from:
- any Canadian province or territory
- Canadian Forces Europe
- U.S. States
- Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, the Isle of Man, Japan, Korea, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Switzerland
and
When you can’t exchange
You cannot exchange:
- a driver’s licence from a country that does not have an exchange agreement in place with Ontario (it is not listed in the section above)
- a learner’s permit or novice-class driver’s licence from another province, state or country
- a motorcycle class driver’s licence from Japan, Korea, Germany, France, Great Britain, Austria, Belgium, Isle of Man, or Republic of Ireland for a Class M Motorcycle licence, because the exchange agreements mentioned above do not include motorcycle class driver’s licences.
You might still be able to fast-track and get credit for previous driving experience.
You need to provide the right documents, when you apply for an Ontario driver’s licence.
and
How to apply
To switch your licence for an Ontario driver’s licence, you need to apply in-person at a DriveTest centre or the ServiceOntario College Park location in downtown Toronto.
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.
