WHV - Driving Lessons
 
Hi


Im just curious but if you are on a working holiday visa can you take driving lessons and exchange for some type of ontario driving licence. ???

I have a UK Provisional driving licence and have had it for 4 years now. Ive probally had about 6-8 months worth of driving lessons from a instructor.

Do you start from scratch but it makes you exempt from waiting periods between tests and ranking up licence ?

Thanks

It says


Probationary licences are not eligible for an exchange; however, the experience may be credited towards the mandatory wait period for the G2 road test.
So does this mean you would hold a G2 licence ? , Or would you start with a G1 but you could take the G1 test straight away ?


Also ....are you allowed to take driving lessons on a WHV ?

6 to 8 months worth of driving lessons and you haven't passed your test yet?

Best call MTO and ask.

In case you need to go through your G1 again or need a refresher course, try the app in my signature :)
