701.0. "Drivers Licence - Quebec to Ontario" by OTOOA::OTOP19::Anderson (Blue Skys Chasing Rainbows) Thu May 13 1993 13:12

Hi,
	When moving from Quebec to Ontario, are you required to take an 
Ontario driving test, either written, practical or both?

	I took my test in Ontario, 5 years ago (still have the certificate), 
moved to Quebec and transferred my licence without re-taking any tests. I 
have heard that when moving from Quebec to Ontario, that at least the written 
part must be re-taken.

Thanks,
	Glenn

    This may have changed, but when I changed from Quebec to Ontario in
    1982, all I did was trade it in for the much cheaper Ontario license. I
    didn't have to take any test or sing "God Save The Queen".

It's a place with rooms where people eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom in.

Hey Mario,
	Hows it going?

	I really didnt want this note to degenerate into why anyone would 
want to move from Quebec to Ontario (or vice versa). House price certainly is 
an issue, but its not the only factor to consider. We all have our reasons 
for making personal choices.
	In my case, being an immigrant Brit who doesnt speak French (and 
its implications) is a good enough reason to want to leave, regardless of 
comparitive house prices.

Regards,
Glenn.

    You guys have gone and wrecked a completely serious and informative
    note. Now all the onlookers will be confused again. Many were looking
    forward to a serious and thought provoking discussion on the merits of
    trading in a Quebec drivers license for a house in the Ottawa suburbs.
    Now it's just got silly!

    Harumph!

	The answer is YES, you must take your drivers license over
	again to get the house in the Ottawa Suburbs.

    	Just in case anyone is really interested you have to do an eye
    test that takes about 2 mins.

re .-1
	Is that it? How long ago did you do this? 

re .-3 
	How long ago did you move? Did you have to take written and practical 
tests?

	Maybe Ill just call the Walkley Road office and check.

Regards,
Glum.
