Hi

I've been asked to provide some references for my first decent job-bite but the employer has come back asking if I have a driver's license for Quebec. Does anyone know how long it takes to obtain one considering I can do a straight swap of my UK license for Quebec license (or that was the latest I read)? I'd hate to lose out just because I don't have one but hopefully if I can put the wheels in motion (pun intended) soon then it won't count against me...

Thanks
Cat

As far as I remember, you phone them up, make an appointment (maybe I didn't have to but call just in case!!), show up with some cash and photos and you get issued a temporary one there and then, followed by the real one a week or so later.

Only downer... they wouldn't allow me to ride a motorbike without a test, even though I am qualified to on my UK license....


This is a good place for info: http://www.saaq.gouv.qc.ca/en/driver...ange/index.php

Ok, that's great. Got an appointment for tomorrow and hopefully everything will be sorted.

Thanks!

I take it you're not in the UK then!!??

Good luck. Oh, I think they took the photo there.... but take some anyway.

Nope, I'm in Montreal. Thanks for the photo tips. Will take some nice ones so I don't look like a psycho like on my UK photos!
