Ontario DL

[Depika]

I hold a valid Illinois Driver License and a valid Driver license & international DL from my country Jordan. I’m planning to land in Toronto, my question is there a way for me to get Ontario driver license without surrendering or give up my Illinois DL, it’s OK with me to give up my Jordanian DL, I had been driving more then 25 years with good record, I’ll stay in Toronto only 5 days is this enough time to get Ontario DL.
Ant suggestion, feedback will be appreciated

There are 2 phases to an Ontario d/l (G1 and G2). If you have no driving experience, you will start with one of them (I forget which) and it has limitations on which highways you can drive on as well as hours between which you can drive at all. After a year, you take the test and get the other one, which has no restrictions.

The only way out of this is to show a current d/l. If it's from the US (mine was from Utah), you get the unlimited G one rightaway. They keep your US d/l, though. I don't know about d/l's from anywhere else - sorry.
