Hi there, I am currently living in BC and have a full UK driving license with no points. Does anyone know how long it is valid for untill I have to get a Canadian one?

Many thanks.

Driver´s licence

New B.C. residents who hold a Canadian, American, Austrian, German, Swiss, Japanese or South Korean driver licence must apply for a B.C. driver?s licences within 90 days of moving to British Columbia. A new equivalent class B.C. driver?s licence will be issued in most cases without a road test or knowledge test. New residents who hold any other types of driver?s licence will be required to take a road test.

You may drive for up to 6 months as a visitor or non-resident worker in BC. You may be exempt from transferring to a BC licence if you are attending a designated institution for study. If you hold an International Driving Permit, you must also carry the accompanying foreign licence.
