However, a Canadian or U.S driver licence may still be presented as proof of driving experience and must be surrendered at time of application.
If your driver’s license is not in English or French, it must be accompanied by a written translation from a qualified translator. Please refer to the "Qualifications of Interpreters and Translators" page for information on the Ministry’s requirements for qualified interpreters and translators.
Applicants from Australia, France, Isle of Man, Japan or Korea must present the following documents:
* Australia and Isle of Man – Driving abstract dated within 6 months preceding the date of application for an Ontario Driver’s Licence
* France - Driving abstract dated within six months of application for an Ontario Driver's Licence, obtained from the French prefecture that issued the original licence. Consulates are unable to supply this document.

Japanese Licences are not required to be surrendered.
If you have an existing driver licensing record in Ontario and the name on your current driver’s license does not match your record in Ontario, you are required to provide a supporting document (e.g. Marriage Certificate, Change of Name Certificate) in order to link your records before you can do an exchange of license.
For acceptable Identification , please refer to the section on "How to Apply for a Driver’s License in Ontario".
2 Proof of legal name, date of birth (must state the day, month and year of birth), and signature
Applicants with 2 or More Years of Driving Experience within the Last Three Years
If you are a licensed driver with two or more years of driving experience from one of the above jurisdictions you may get full class licence privileges without taking a knowledge or road test. However, you must pass a vision test and show acceptable proof of your previous licence status and driving experience.
If you hold a controlled class licence (A,B,C,D,E,F) from a Canadian province or territory, you may exchange your licence for the equivalent Ontario class of licence (a class B or E licence will be exchanged for a class C or F licence respectively). Please note any applicant choosing to exchange a controlled class drivers license must provide a medical at the time of exchange failure to do so will result in obtaining only a G class licence if eligible.
Less than 2 Years of Driving Experience within the Last Three Years
If you have less than two years of driving experience, you may get credit for your experience for graduated licensing and be issued a Class G2 or M2 licence. Once you have a total of two years of driving experience, you may take the G2 or M2 road test to earn full driving privileges.
If you hold a controlled class licence from a Canadian province or territory, once you are eligible to attempt the G2 road test, you must pass the road test within one year of the licence exchange to be issued the equivalent controlled class licence. If you pass the G2 road test after one year from the date of exchange, you will be issued a class G licence.
Note: These conditions also apply to licensed motorcycle riders from other Canadian provinces, from the United States, Australia, Switzerland and Canadian Forces Europe. However there is currently no exchange agreement for motorcycle riders from the remaining jurisdictions.
YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE MUST NOT BE EXPIRED FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AT THE TIME OF EXCHANGE IN ORDER TO BE VALID. YOU MAY QUALIFY FOR EXPERIENCE ONLY DEPENDENT ON THE TIME OF EXPIRY.
