Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my foreign driver's license in BC?
Visitors can use a valid foreign license for up to 90 days. If you become a BC resident, you must get a BC license within 90 days. Depending on your country of origin, you may be able to exchange your license directly or may need to take knowledge and road tests.
Do I need to start from scratch if I have years of driving experience?
Not necessarily. ICBC has agreements with many countries that allow experienced drivers to exchange their license with minimal testing. We'll help you understand what's required based on your specific situation.
What languages do you offer instruction in?
Our primary instruction is in English, with the ability to provide additional explanations in Punjabi and Hindi. Clear, simple English is used throughout to help you build driving vocabulary.
How do I book my ICBC road test?
We can guide you through the entire process. You'll need to visit an ICBC driver licensing office, provide your foreign license and identification, and book a road test. We'll make sure you're fully prepared before your test date.
