Driving License Requirements for Temporary Workers in Canada
Temporary workers in Canada who want to drive must ensure they meet the specific licensing requirements of their province or territory. If you’re coming to Canada for work and plan to drive, the first thing you’ll need is proof of legal status. Depending on the length of your stay and your country of origin, you may be able to use your existing foreign driver’s license for a limited period, typically ranging from 60 to 90 days.
After this period, you’ll need to apply for a Canadian driver’s license. Some provinces may require a written knowledge test, a road test, or both, especially if there is no reciprocal agreement with your home country. In some cases, temporary workers may need to provide a medical certificate or documentation from their employer.
