Informative. However, the Drivers Extract is now invalid and will not be of any use as they now request for a Letter from the Nigerian Embassy. Getting this letter is not an issue. Check online for the Drive History Letter from Nigerian Embassy and you will see the requirements. Cost you $100 Money order and you need to send it with a self addressed envelope. Everything is around a $150. Good luck guys.
Hello. Thank you for the information. Please after getting the letter from the Embassy, do I take it to the drive test center ? What’s the procedure like please? Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.
You can send a request to info@frsc.gov.ng, you'll however need to call their call center to make arrangements for them to send it to you. The other option is to apply through the Nigerian High Commission in Ottawa (nigeriahcottawa.ca/drivers-license-letter/).
Hello Mykoko, thanks for this video its really helpful... My question is can i use a Scanned copy of my Driving Extract from Nigeria to get a G-License?
Bro thanks for this..When you were about to take your full G license test,did you use an instructor to atleast guide you because African roads are different from Canadian ones?or did you just dive in without any guidance?
Hi, just landed in Ontario and I want to apply for Ontario drivers licence with 6 years driving experience in Nigeria but I don’t have a driver’s extract
Thanks for the video! Can I buy a car and drive with the g1 licence? Second question, What of if I've no one that has driven for at least 5 years which is a condition to drive with g1?
You can't drive with a G1 license without an experienced driver with you. Research other limitations. I'm not sure about buying a car with a G1 license tho. You can call/visit any dealership to find out.
With existing driving experience from home country (which allows to bypass the G2 test); upon completion of the knowledge test - what type of license will I be holding? and will I be able to drive immediately without taking the final G test?
thanks fore this update, I'm about to get mine too, i'm coming to canada with tourist visa, I will be staying in airbnb, which address in canada can I use for the letter?can I use the airbnb address?
Depending on which province you're visiting, you may be able to drive with your license for a short duration. Check online for the address of the province's ministry of transportation. Also, you shouldn't need a Canadian drivers license if you're only coming here for a visit.

Hello Mykoko, thanks for this video its really helpful... My question is can i use a Scanned copy of my Driving Extract from Nigeria to get a G-License?
I had to DHL mine, but that was 2 years ago. You can try first with a printed scan just to be sure. Thanks for watching
Yaaayyy, first to comment
Thank youuuu
I want to come there some day
Sure, Cara. Your dreams are valid and achievable.
@@MykokosDiary Amen oh
If you have 2 in half years experience from back home is it possible to skip the time
Bro thanks for this..When you were about to take your full G license test,did you use an instructor to atleast guide you because African roads are different from Canadian ones?or did you just dive in without any guidance?
Yes, I got an instructor who gave me some driving tips. Thanks for watching
Thank you so much
Glad you found it helpful
Thank you
After taking your test for G1 , how long do you have to wait to get the license
You get the G1 license immediately after passing the test.
They issue a temporary license after you pass your test. The card would come in 2 to 6 weeks from the day you passed your test.
Hi, just landed in Ontario and I want to apply for Ontario drivers licence with 6 years driving experience in Nigeria but I don’t have a driver’s extract
You can take G1 and wait for 1 year to get the next level.
You would be allowed to go for G2 immediately if you have drivers licence from Nigeria
Thanks for the video! Can I buy a car and drive with the g1 licence? Second question, What of if I've no one that has driven for at least 5 years which is a condition to drive with g1?
You can't drive with a G1 license without an experienced driver with you. Research other limitations. I'm not sure about buying a car with a G1 license tho. You can call/visit any dealership to find out.
@@MykokosDiaryYou need someone to do the insurance (a G1 cannot do their own insurance).
With existing driving experience from home country (which allows to bypass the G2 test); upon completion of the knowledge test - what type of license will I be holding? and will I be able to drive immediately without taking the final G test?
You get G1 after passing the knowledge test, it's a learning permit. You can only drive with an instructor.
Please how do I get the drivers extract? Who can I reach out to Nigeria to help with this. Thank you
I believe there's a portal for that now on FRSC website
Hello, My driver's license has expired, im in the UK and planning on moving to Canada, can i use just the driver's extract to skip G1 ??
I'm not sure. May be worth a trial.
Did you have to borrow a car to do your road test or did you buy a car already by that time.
I borrowed a car
I forgot to bring my driver's extract if I show them a scanned copy will they accept it
Had to DHL mine, but that was 2 years ago. You can try first with the scanned copy just to be sure. Thanks for watching
thanks fore this update, I'm about to get mine too, i'm coming to canada with tourist visa, I will be staying in airbnb, which address in canada can I use for the letter?can I use the airbnb address?
Depending on which province you're visiting, you may be able to drive with your license for a short duration. Check online for the address of the province's ministry of transportation. Also, you shouldn't need a Canadian drivers license if you're only coming here for a visit.
If you're staying as a tourist, you may only need an international license from your home country.
Buddy, can i usee the Nigerian international License alone to start driving for 90 days? Please I need your help, i'm from Nigeria
Please check with your province, the rules vary.
Hi Mykoko, If I travel as Tourist, can I study for Full G Driver's License?
I'm not sure about this. You should check with Service Ontario.
@@MykokosDiary Thank you bro.
pls try to speak actively when making next video form Abuja
I hear you. Thank you.
Hello Bro...just landed 3 weeks ago. My drivers license from Nigeria is only 1 year plus old. Do you still advice i get the drivers extract?
The purpose of the extract is to prove how long you've been driving. I'm not sure if 1 year is enough. It's your decision.
2 yr experience of driving is must to skip g2 time
What's the name of the app you can use for test pls?
G1 Genius. Just do a search on your app store for similar ones
Are international students permitted to drive in British Columbia 🙏
They drive in Ontario. I don't know about BC
Best to check with your province's rules regarding this.
Is drivers extract same as drivers license
Not the same. The extract is a summary of your driving record.
If you have 2 in half years experience from back home is it possible to skip the time
Your best bet is to ask the officials after passing the knowledge test .
