Just a quick query (a secret fear) - on immigration to NS is a driving test a requirement or can a British Licence just be 'swapped' for a Canadian one?

Have tried to check this out on Wiki but with no joy

If so, what is required - is it as complex as ours (which incidently my OH and I took over 20 years ago

You can drive for 90 days on your UK license. After that you need to sit a NS driver's test and sit a theory test.

Here is the website and handbook.

Thanks Yes-can-do.

Sweety palms and nervous smiles again then

Don't stress over it. My driving test only took around 10-15 minutes and was easy. If you can drive in the UK, you can drive in NS thats for sure.

Hi there,
Will be moving to NS once we sell in BC. We both (wife and I) took our tests following the 90 day expiration and have been driving on BC licences here for around 18 months. Does anyone know if we can simply swap BC for NS or hasn't enough time elapsed on the Canadian licence to do this yet? Hopefully, it'll be a straight swap as we have done the Canadian testing. Surely they won't expect us to take them again?

Just wondering.

p.s. anyone want to buy a really lovely house here in BC? Check out my ad!

It seems that your license can be swapped.

Check out Chapter 1, page 5 of the of the driver's handbook.

Thanks! I'll check it out. Happy Easter.

This is true but one word of warning - WATCH OUT FOR THE POT HOLES!!
