A valid driver's licence from another Canadian jurisdiction can be exchanged for an equivalent class (classes 1 through 7). Testing is not normally required, but a medical and proof of vision screening is required for classes 1, 2, and 4 and maybe required for all other classes if you have a medical condition that may affect your ability to safely operate a motor vehicle.

A valid driver's licence from the United States can be exchanged for an equivalent class 5, 6, or 7 licence. All other classes require testing, and you must provide applicable medical and vision screening.

You must present immigration and residency documentation and acceptable identification.

A valid driver's licence from Germany , Austria , Japan , Korea and Switzerland can be exchanged for a class 5 when the applicant is presenting a valid licence of equivalent class. A class 6 operator's licence can be issued to valid Swiss Class A or A1 licence and a Japanese International driver's licence that permits the holder to operate a motorcycle. All other classes require testing and you must provide applicable medical and vision screening.

If you are under 18, you will require parental consent, unless you are married or living on you own.
