How to Get Truck Driving License in Canada Visitor Visa?

You generally cannot obtain a full Canadian commercial truck driving license (Class 1 or equivalent) on a visiting visa, because these licenses require proof of residency in a province or territory. Most provinces require applicants to have a valid work permit, study permit, or permanent resident status to apply.

On a visitor visa, you may be allowed to:

• Drive with an international driving permit (IDP) or your home country license for a limited time, depending on the province.

• Enroll in truck driving training programs as a visitor, but you may not be eligible to take the commercial license road test without residency status.

To legally obtain a Canadian truck driving license, you would need a visa that allows you to work or reside in Canada, such as a work permit or permanent residency.
