Can immigrants get a driver's license in Canada?

[amaretosdefractor]

Yes, immigrants (and all newcomers to Canada) can and should get a driver’s license in Canada. In fact, it is illegal to drive in Canada without a valid driver’s license or an IDP.

Driver’s licenses are official government documents from a specific province or territory. These documents allow their holders to operate a motor vehicle (car, van etc.) in the province or territory where the document was issued. These licenses are required of all prospective drivers – including citizens, temporary residents and permanent residents – once the international driver’s license transition period expires (see list in the above section of this page).

Obtaining a driver’s license as a newcomer to Canada

There are many benefits to performing a soft landing before your permanent move to Canada.

Among them is that a soft landing gives new immigrants the chance to get their PR card prior to the time they immigrate here (more on this later). Additionally, because there is no limit to how long you can spend in Canada during a soft landing, this time also provides an opportunity for newcomers to familiarize themselves with their new community. Whether this involves finding the right neighbourhood to reside in or exploring the city you’ve already chosen to settle in, soft landings are a good opportunity to prepare yourself for an eventual permanent move to Canada.

Because soft landings involve an eventual return to your home country, they also provide an opportunity for newcomers to continue working in their home country as they attempt to find a job in Canada from abroad.

Returning to your home country after a soft landing will enable you to continue working in your existing job until you’re ready to move to Canada permanently (see FAQ below). This will help you grow your savings, which will be beneficial when you move to Canada permanently. Further, if you return to your home country in possession of your PR card and Social Insurance Number (SIN), you may also appear more appealing to prospective Canadian employers. This is because employers in this country tend to prefer hiring Canadian citizens and permanent residents.

Immigrants and all newcomers to Canada must have a valid driver's license. It is illegal to drive without a valid driver's license or International Driver's Permit (IDP) in Canada. Driver's licenses https://drunkid.com/buy/fake-florida-drivers-license/ are issued by specific provinces or territories and allow you to drive vehicles within the region where they were issued. After a "soft landing," immigrants often return to their home country. At this time, they may continue to work in their previous job until they are ready to move to Canada permanently.
