Subject: Driver's license
Hello, dear Forum, I have a Bulgarian driver´s license. Will I be able to get a Canadian driver´s license issued, and if so, how? I am a new Permanent Resident.

Thank you very much for your reply.
Best wishes

Most likely you have to go as usual from the scratch. In Ontario, Bulgerian DL holders don´t get it directly.

Drivers from other Canadian provinces, Canadian Forces-Europe, U.S.A., Japan, Korea, Switzerland, Germany, France, Great Britain, Austria and Belgium are eligible to exchange their DL dirtectly.

It´s a total disaster and haressment to New Immigrants in Alberta by Service Alberta. It´s a survival test for New Immigrants to Alberta in the severe winter.

They issue a GDL Learner´s license after the knowledge test. You cannot drive without a Class 5 driver sitting besides you.
Even though I have a licence wayback since 1989 from India, they asked for approval/authentication from Consulate Gen. of India or wait for 1 year for Class 5 Road Test.
This is crazy.

I agree with you YJ, in Canada DL system is too hard.

In response to YJ,

It´s true it is inconvenient for genuine case like yours. But it´s possible to get Driver´s License for few bucks in India. Canadian DL System is doing its best to protect its interest. It is providing direct exchange to License from countries like US where DL can be verified and driving roads and condition are similar to Canada.

I am hearing this for the first time that they offered to accept with authorization from Consulate of India. I think it´s a very good option. If someone with a genuine Driver´s License wants to avoid waiting for a year, he/she can take this route.
