BRTA licence to Ontario / BC conversion
Ontario: an authenticated BRTA Driving Experience Certificate lets DriveTest credit up to 2+ years — book the G2 or full G road test immediately, skipping the 1-year G1 wait. BC: submit the original laminated BRTA card plus a certified English abstract (or ICBC-approved translation) to challenge the Class 5 road test directly, bypassing the Graduated Licensing Program.
