Well I have done one whole week here now and wha a week it has been. I I've got an Ontario driving licence, from a girl who I can only pray that she gets a personality real soon. My husband was at the next booth and his girl was very nice

Got a SIN from a very nice lady and only had to wait in line for about 20 mins

I have got a car, but waiting to collect it. Should be tomorrow, not in a rush bit scared of the roads

I have got a nice tan

Been to the supermarket and done a weeks shop. I hate supermarkets and always shopped on line at home, so I am proud of my self

Went to Burlington and ate at a very nice restaurant in the sunshine - food was excellent

Had a bit of a moment yesterday when I wanted to hug my daughters and grandchildren

All in all not a bad week

Hubby as started work today so on my own, filled this morning cleaning the apartment and I am going to the library this afternoon - life in the fast line eh

Forgot to say, as my hubby is no longer working in London the alarm went off at 6.45 this morning instead of 5am: rofl:

Congratulations on a productive first week!!!

Well done. a lot achieved on your first week, good luck

Hi Jacq & Brian....WOW! busy..busy week...

Hi Jacq and Brian congrats on surviving your busy first week I hope you settle in quickly. Are you living in your new home already or do you have to wait a bit? Hope you enjoy the car - the roads are fine just do as the locals do - tailgate and cut people up lots of fun

well done Jacq - not as bad you imagined? xxx

well done, that's awesome!

out of curiosity; where'd you go to get your SIN - I'm very keen on only waiting a short time when I land

I know the feeling wanting to hug the family, been in BC over a year and still want to hug my daughter and grandchildren.

Glad to hear everything is going well!

Cant get into the house until 15th July. We are in a duplex type thing in Erin Mills, it not too bad, but will happier when we get into our house. I went to Burlington twice last week just to drive past it

I get the car on Wednesday, thats the earliest the dealer can get them ready. - So watch out

We went to Service Canada which is just off Dundas, I will get you the exact address if you need it. That was the closest to us. We even went at 12.30 whch we thought would be really busy but there was only 6 people in front of us.

Similar question. Where did you do your licence exchange? From the web site it looks like it can only be done at one of the few full testing centres none of which are downtown.

Thanks

This is the driving test centre we went to. We were there about 1.5 hours in total. You fill in a form with the person that see's you, have a picture taken and eye test all done by the assistant at their desk, pay $75 per person and thats it done. You get a temp license until your new one arrives, they keep you card copy to return to the UK and give you your paper copy back. If you wear specs for driving make sure you take them in with you.

Thats the map I sent you if you click on the driving test centre button at the top of the page it will take you to the full list.
