Friday, May 24, 2024 The Ontario government is streamlining the process for newcomers to exchange out-of-province and international driver’s licences. You can now book appointments online at 15 DriveTest locations throughout the province. “Ontario is proud to welcome more than 200,000 new residents each year, coming from near and far,” said Prabmeet Sarkaria, Minister of Transportation .
“That is why our government is working to make their transition as seamless as possible by making it easier than ever to exchange a driver’s licence, while also reducing wait times and line-ups at DriveTest locations.” After relocating to Ontario, new residents have 60 days to exchange their out-of-province or international driver’s licence for an Ontario driver’s licence. Those holding valid driver’s licences from countries with reciprocal agreements, such as the United States, Great Britain, and Japan, can exchange their licences for an Ontario driver’s licence without the need for testing.
Newcomers can book an appointment at DriveTest locations including Brampton, Downsview, Etobicoke, Hamilton, Kitchener, London, Mississauga, Metro East, Newmarket, Oakville, Orangeville, Oshawa, Ottawa Walkley, Port Union, and Windsor by visiting drivetest.ca..
