NEW CITIZENS
DRIVING TRAINING
DriveWise offers courses designed specifically for new Canadian citizens. Whether you already have a license from your country of origin or require re-certification, DriveWise has a driver training program for you.
Ontario has licence exchange agreements with certain provinces, states, and countries. If you are from one of these jurisdictions, you may be eligible to do a direct licence exchange for an Ontario licence without all the required testing.
If you have a licence from a country that does not have a licence exchange agreement with Ontario, you may be eligible to receive credit for your foreign driving experience. However, you are still required to pass all applicable tests to earn your Ontario driver’s licence.
