Question about exchanging Aus drivers licence for Quebec one

Hey I've been in Montreal Quebec on WHP for year and a half now and am going to renew my whp early next year to stay longer. I was reading up that quebec doesnt have an exchange for Australian to Quebec licence (I think?)

The thing is my australian drivers licence expired in june so 4 months ago and since ive been here more than 12 months does that mean im still eligible to get points for existing time driving, also does it matter if its expired?

Was wondering if anyone have any experience with getting a licence or exchanging a licence in quebec.

If being over 12 months in canada and having expired licence is a big deal
I'm going on a holiday back to Aus next year for a couple of weeks and im getting a new whp so does that mean technically i've left and returned tongue or do they look at more detailed info than that?


Any advice much appreciated big_smile

Cheers Brendon

Re: Question about exchanging Aus drivers licence for Quebec one

Hey Brendon,

As far as I know they don't do the exchange thing, so unless your license has the issued date on it you're probably best off to grab a driving history while you're back in Australia. You can use this to get some time off your license (Ie you don't have to do the p-plate equivalent again), but I'm willing to bet they'll make you do a test.

One thought, if you know someone in Ontario, renew your license when you get back to Australia, go visit your friends in Ontario, switch your drivers license using their address, then get them to forward on your new license. You can then use that to switch out for a Quebec drivers license... could just work!
