old british paper driving licence in Quebec?
 

I am starting a new job in Quebec.
I have an old paper UK driving licence.
What would be the best move regarding driving licences?

Would it be better to get a UK plastic card licence?

Or an international licence?

I'm not a seasoned motorist=so any advice would be appreciated.

When we moved here 6 years ago I had the paper UK driving licence and still have it! It wasn't a problem then at all to get a quebec licence.
An international licence is definitely not better than a UK licence - you don't need one.

Check out the SAAQ site for details to be sure.

You can drive on your UK license for 3 months I believe before you are required to have a QC one. It's a nightmare trying to get through on the phone to make the appointment though! :frown: I have been trying for ages on and off to get an appt for the OH. The one time I got more than a busy tone I was put in a queue for over 45 mins and had to hang up because I was dying to pee! :sneaky:
