Is it MUST to surrender US license when you get ON driving license?
Or one can just submit the Driving record from US (NJ) for past 4 years (one can get it from NJ DMV by paying $ 10 fees)
If one submits the US DMV record do they still take the US license or one can keep US license and can also get ON DL.
I am asking this question because I know a friend he did not surrender US license and got ON DL. He is having both the licenses of ON and US
I have read in many postings in Past that one can not keep both US and ON or Canada license and it is illegal, I did not find any info on Driving license Ontario site regarding this rule nor NJ, MD, VA DMV driving books have any instruction that one can not have Canadian license at the time one has US DL.
Because if you show Indian DL with some good EXP (more than 4-5 years) or IDP from India they count it as experience and one has to give knowledge test, eye test and then one can directly go for G2 road test, or given G1, they don’t keep your Indian DL with them and no need to surrender. Then why they want US DL to be surrendered when you can give the record if US DL, because these days if one is working in US it very important to have US DL, but when you want to go for PR card pick up they ask you Canadian DL or Heath Card, one can not get heath card in Ontario with out giving proof of renal agreement or ON DL, utility bills, bank statements for past 3 months. I know it is difficult to provide all these document if one is working in Canada PR and US.
Why they want US DL to be surrendered when you want to exchange for ON DL? Why only US driving record is not accepted as proof?
Any comments
