Fido,
But people do apply directly for G as well ...even when they have come from their home countries, so how do they get their G's when they have never driven in G2 , forget two years ?
And does the age have any significance to the insurance rates? I thought that the insurance is high for under 30's....plus the certificate we get by 20 hrs in class...does it really help or no ?
If you have driven in Dxb for 12 yrs , you should be able to clear G ... I strongly recommend doing some Highway driving with an Instructor ... 4-6 hours and going for the G ......... You would save a lot on Insurance down the line and you can make it .. I feel positive ..
Also YES -- its worth the wait for Guelph for 1 month to take the G there ... they do not have any 400 highways over there and you should be good ....
2 things ......... familiarize and be confident with Highway 401 driving ... very essential .... and learn to drive in speed limits ... some thing largely unknown to Gulf drivers .

You are given a one time opportunity to go in for G . Other wise you are expected to have 2 yrs of NA experience before a G .
Age does have a bearing on the rates .... but its largely your G experience which is counted .... a 25 yr old having 5 yrs G experience would likely have lesser premium than a 35 year old new immigrant ..
Yes - I recommend the 20 - 25 hrs course but do it from a good Institute ... It not only reduces your insurance but also teaches you things that you may not realize you don't know .

I think these are the requirements gor G licence:
1. No driving experience from any country in the world..... You need to wait 1yr after G1 (8 months if you take a defensive driving course from a driving school approx. $ 350-400). After your G2 also you need to wait atleast 1 yr before you can give your G test.
2. If you have driving experience/licence then you need not wait between G1 to G2 to G.
From what I gather.... A new immigrant with a G2 will pay approx. $350 for insurance where a person with approx 12-13 yrs clean driving will pay around $180.

The biggest question is if you go shortcut, by giving G directly than you are literally in trouble because if you cant make it (then the G1, G2, G & the time limit in between applies)..
However, if you go with the G1, next week G2, buy your car get an insurance (whatever price, its your destiny), get some experience/drive in the highway, may be in snow, & than go for G (what's the rush)... take it easy, G2 lasts for 5yrs.. (you have to pass G before the end of 5yrs..
Average G2 drivers pay 20-50% higher rate for insurance in compare to G. If someone has 12yrs experience of driving overseas, he can pass G Test without doubt. He just need knowledge of basic rules and regulations. Why should he go for G2 and waste money to pay higher insurance premium? Common sense is that he should try for G if he pass it, excellent, if not then he can go trough G2 process.

As I mentioned , you get this opportunity only once - other wise you have to go for the 2 yr route ...

The point is as put by the poster above me --- Why should one pay higher premium for 2 years before he gets a G ( if he goes the longer route ) when he can reduce his premiums upfront ... by going in for the G directly ??
He should give a good shot for G ( I know few who have done it ) and only if he does not succeed , he should go the longer route ...
Guelph G is not a regular G because of absence of 400 Hwys ...

Hi Guys,
This is my first ever mail to this wonderful website that I just came to know about. Hats off to all of senior and all members.
Actually I am preparing to leave for Canada on 9th July from Saudi.
I drive from past 5 years and a confident driver except didnt tried on snow.
Ok, I definetly agree that I should give a try for G but before taking some exercise from instructor.
So, before I make you bore (too late
) let me ask the question:
For applying for G license, does the copy or original document of saudi license (5 years) Indian license (8 years) would suffice or
Do i have to take some document from Saudi Traffic that How was my driving from past 5 years ???
I appreciate your time and thanks in advance!!!
Regards
Abdul Mannan
