If your country of origin is not listed above, you must do the following to get a licence:

1. Go to a licensing centre and present your foreign driver’s licence to a customer service agent. There is no need to pre-book an appointment. Additionally, you will be asked to complete and pass:
a. A vision test
b. A knowledge test*
c. Pay all applicable fees
d. Provide acceptable proof of identity

*The knowledge test requires you to study The Official Ministry of Transportation (MTO) Driver’s Handbook
The knowledge test is available in multiple languages.

If you successfully pass the knowledge test, vision test, pay applicable fees and provide proof of identity, you will be eligible to acquire your G1 licence. Note that this licence only lets you drive if you are accompanied by a driver who has had a G2 or G licence for four years or more.

There are two other levels of driver’s licences to drive a car independently. Road tests are required for the additional two levels of driver’s licences. Learn more at: Drivers’ Licences – Cars – DriveTest Home

2. Once you pass the knowledge test, you can sign up for a road test which will grant you a G2 licence. If you are exchanging your licence for a foreign one, you can do the road test immediately. If not, there is a waiting period of 12 months, or 8 months if you go to a certified driver’s education course. Book your road test here.
