Dear all
I am moving to toronto in a month or two. About the driving license exchange program between NY and Toronto I want to know the followings:
1. Do they take away the NY license itself? or
2. they only need the DMV records?
My intention is to retain the NY Driving license.
Appreciate your valuable advise and suggestions.

I had TX license; that was taken away by MTO in Toronto and sent back to Texas DMV.
If you have at least 2 years of US driving history then you´ll be given directly G license, otherwise G-2 (w/some restrictions and higher insurance rate).
If your license don´t contain when it was issued, then you need to have DMV record stating the time you drove in the US. Anyway, it´ll be needed for better insurance quote.

You didn´t say whether you have landed or not - if you haven´t landed you shouldn´t give up your NY license yet, as you will not be able to get insurance to drive in Canada until you are a PR. If you give up your NY license it could trigger your US insurance company to drop your policy. I know Ontario has a provision that you must get an Ontario license within 90 days of establishing residency, but if you are in Canada as a visitor/student/etc., you are part of the Temporary class and not actually able to "establish residence".
