hahaaa your post made me smile!!..shoulder checker of the year!!

Thanks for the reply. yes i did'nt realise tht i would have to renew licence after 2 or 5 years. oh well as long as i dont have to take the test again in 2 years im happy! I dont know any other english people that have there licence so coulnt ask them.(other than those on here of course!) Have booked husbands fri and has a cancellation slot for monday ! i wont tell you what he said when he realised it was only a couple of days away :curse:

Good for you - many congratulations!

I wish you miles (or should that be kilometres) of trouble free driving.

Well done.

So how did Mr Jempee get on with his driving test today?
I hope he passed and you're not lumped with all 'designated driver' duties for the foreseeable future

I took a lesson before my test, and the instructor told me to drive a fraction under the posted limits, to ensure there was no chance of failing due to speeding. I drove everywhere best part of 5 km/h under the limit throughout my test and passed with no problem.

He passed thank god. Although it was borderline so the examiner said due to to much caution! Told him a couple of times during the test he was being to cautious

When i took mine i kept just below the speed limit and he pulled me up on that. He said that i should have been near on the limit and i had kept between the limit and 5 below They also told husband he was being to over cautious and should keep practically on the limit.

Guys,what's it like taking the test in Victoria as i'll be there in July on a WP and i'll have a company vehicle so i'll have to take the test at some stage. UK licence held for 19years now!!

Mike.

Waiting on a job interview result i had in BC last week at the moment. If it's good news we could be headed out on a temp work permit late in the summer!!!!!!! I was under the impression my licence would only last for 90 days, on a WP is it a year then as i'd be classed as a visitor?

Oh how i smile if that's the case

It's 90 days if you're on a WP.

90 if you become a resident i thought on a WP i was told was 6 months.

~*~*~*congrats~~**~*~ to your husband!!!!

I think it is like most things....there is strict guidelines the examniers would have to adhere too....but then it may come down to where you are and who your examiner is to the little finer points at their own discretion.

i suggest for anyone...who has come to canada permanently.....to get out there and start driving ASAP......the more you do it..the more confident you will be when the time comes....to take that driving test......

90 days for all residents. If you're on a work permit you're considered to be resident.

Oh how i wipe the smile from my face

I will try and call ICBC today to check if this is the case. NOt that i doubt it, just want to check it out as i know a few peeps here on work permit and wwe are all under the impression its 90 days when you become a permanent resident not on WP.
