McGuinty Government Helping Newcomers Settle More Easily

A new agreement between Ontario and the Isle of Man will allow new residents to exchange their valid driver's licence upon relocation, without having to take a knowledge or road test.

Reciprocal drivers' licence agreements are signed once a stringent review has determined that each system provides the necessary skills and abilities to safely operate a vehicle on one another's roads. Drivers still need to meet vision and medical standards.

Partnerships such as these reduce unnecessary testing and delay for new residents, while keeping the roads safe for everyone.
