Re: How long can you drive in Ontario
In November 2005 I swapped my UK licence for an Ontario one whilst I was on a working holiday visa. When I came back to the UK in May 2006 I went and swapped the Ontario one for a UK one.
In 2007 when I went to join a car club in the UK, I was surprised to hear that the DVLA wouldn't confirm I had a UK licence to the car club despite me holding the licence in my hand!
As it transpired, it took so long for the word to get back to Blighty from Ontario about the original swap that they thought the new licence that I got in 2006 was the one that had been surrendered.
Which leads me rambling to the question behind my story - when I return to Ontario this month and apply for a licence, will I get recognition that I have had an Ontario DL from November 2005? same drivers licence number?
