How many lessons do I need to pass the road test?

 

 For those who adapt quickly to the driving environment or have previous driving experience, around 6 to 8 lessons should be adequate. However, if you feel less comfortable or are uneasy with traffic, consider taking additional practice sessions to build your confidence and skills.

 

I have a Driver License from other country, can I use it here?

 

You can drive up to 90 days if you have a License from other country. If you have a valid home country driver’s license and a certified translation of your license if not in English, by an ICBC approved translator…if your country is not listed, please check ICBC’s website, you will need to pass a knowledge, and the road test.

 

My learner’s Driver License will expire soon. Can I renew it?

 

You cannot renew a Learner’s Driver’s License. You have to take the computer knowledge test again, and that passing grade is only good for 2 years.
