Thank you question I need help
About the driver's license in Canada, can I get a full class 5 license if I have a DL from another country, or do I need to go through the whole process of getting a class 7 then 5I then 5II then 5?
You can get full class 5 if your drivers' licence is verified
Hello my name is wissam ,i am from algeria and am planning to move to canada next month , i just had my driving licence and i wanna know if i am still able to ask for exemption from G1 test even if i just had my driving licence in algeria
Hi Wissam. Congratulations on your licence. You have to take the theory test and get a G1 licence, then you can do some practical lessons. If your Algerian licence is new (less than 1 year old), you will need to wait 1 year before you can do a G2 road test. So as soon as you land in Canada, get your G1 licence and then you can do driving classes and then after 1 year you can go for a G2 road test.
What about me I have 3 active driving license saudi, dubai and india. Will I be exempted from all test.
Hi Charles! You won't be exempted from the test but you will be exempted from the learner driver program, so you need to pass the knowledge test and then surrender your 3 licenses and then book a road test
Plz can you tel which book you refer to give your knowledge test ? I cudnt clear twice ..plz help 🙏
It's called the Alberta Driving Guide (for cars and light trucks), I bought mine online from Amazon
@@GoingPlaceswithAbuMicah thanks a lot
@@GoingPlaceswithAbuMicah hi i see many channel talk about how easy to get driver license as visitor but when i check on google. there is zero chance to get one unless i need resident. is it real that people can go to get g test base on visitor visa? if you see this please answer. i am grateful if you answer this question because it mean a lot for journey.
Can I swap International Licence for The Quebec licence or is it just National only
You do not need an "international licence" in Canada unless if your licence is in a language that is not English or French. If your licence is already in English or French, you can exchange it for a Canadian licence if the country that issued your licence has a licence exchange agreement with that Canadian province. If not, you would need to do a knowledge test and a road test before you can get a Quebec licence.
How long did you wait between apply for exemption and can book a road test? Is this immediately?
Mine Quin exemption took about 10 days, after exemption I applied for road test.
@@GoingPlaceswithAbuMicah Thank you so much for your reply, I take a knowledge test and will make a exemption tomorrow
How long did you wait after you booked the road test
Tonye Ben-Jack When you book the road test you have to select an available date and time so you only need to wait until the date you would have chosen. If there are no dates available then you cannot book a road test in Alberta.
What if your home country license in expired for 3 months before landing in ontario... But it was valid for almost 10 years
To be on the safe side, I would recommend renewing your license before landing in Canada, so that you have a valid one. However, check with Service Ontario whether they can accept an expired foreign license for conversion purposes.
@@GoingPlaceswithAbuMicah Thank you I've emailed them hope they reply. I'm going to renew and then get an international driving license and then see how it goes.
Abu I've just watched this video i have a dubai driving license is it exchangeable or i habe to do test. The other question is how much does it totally cost to have full driving licence (have dubai driving licence already) then what are the possible jobs i can get and how the pay?? Thank you look forward to your reply
They wont hire you. There are no jobs for Canadians all the businesses shut down. They increased the cost of living 3 Fold!!! Rent is Now 1200...food for one one week 200. gas is thru the rokf, find a Better place to go. Canadians are leaving in huge numbers
@@christinebradshaw9377 thank you for the information but that's the trend everywhere infact Canada s own situation is far better than my country 🇺🇬 here things are from worse to worst
Hello am from Ethiopia and planning to move to Canada as an international student and my Ethiopian driving license is 1 year and I want to get my Canadian license so that I could drive could you’ll please assist me with this?
Hey. If your drivers' licence is in English or French you can use it in Alberta province for 1 year (may be similar or different depending on the province). Get an International Driving Permit in Ethiopia before coming to Canada, then visit a Registry Agent / Office when you land in Canada and they will advise you on how you can get a local licence.
Come to Canada, Lose Your Soul.
Hello,
With a driver’s license from my country
Can I do courier jobs
I’m from Ghana
@@ampawnana-asare7810 You will need to get a Canadian licence first. For courier jobs you just need a licence that allows you to drive 2-axle vehicles.

Thank you so much. But you can driver in midnight with Class 5 GDL, the restriction is for class 7
Mine Quin Class 7 is a learners licence you cannot drive alone with a Class 7 you need a fully licensed driver. For Class 5 GDL in Alberta you are not allowed to drive between midnight and 5am.
@@GoingPlaceswithAbuMicah "The licence restriction preventing Alberta drivers from driving between midnight and 5 am is waived once you pass the Class 5 road test and get your Class 5 GDL licence. Drivers at the 7L learner stage are still restricted from nighttime driving." I got this one from google. By the way, your channel is very helpful
Mine Quin oh my goodness you’re right! I can drive after midnight with a Class 5 GDL thanks for that, I have a job I finish at 1130 pm and always would try to leave on time so that I’m home before midnight :) now I can take my time!
Hi is canada safe for black people
