Jurisdictions with a licence exchange agreement with Ontario, as well as the documentation requirements for each of those locations, follow. These licence exchange agreements are related to driving motorcycles, mopeds, or scooters. There are different agreements and requirements for those who drive cars, small trucks, vans, and commercial vehicles.
If you do not see your country in this list, you must apply for a new motorcycle licence and complete all steps of the graduated licensing program (although you may get credit for previous driving experience).
