Insurance companies often have specific requirements for new arrivals or temporary residents regarding driver’s licenses. Generally, you’ll need a valid driver’s license issued by your home province within a specified timeframe (usually 6 to 12 months) after establishing residency. However, temporary workers or students may be exempt from this requirement as long as their visas are valid.
Please also note that some insurers may not provide coverage if you do not plan to obtain a local Ontario license within the required period.
