Hi guys.
I have 2 questions:

1) Can I rent and drive a car with a Sharjah driving license in Canada or do I have to get an International Driving Permit.

2) Where can I get an experience letter for my driving license in Sharjah so that I can apply directly for a G2 license in Canada?

Thanks for your help in advance.

For them its a UAE license. YOu need to have international driving license.

No need for exp letter. Your issuance date of driving licence speaks itself of expereince & more than enough for G2

Could you please specify is this comment based on your opinion or a previous experience?
Because i have a driving license from Qatar but i have seen many people in this forum stress on getting experience letter in order to get a shot at G2 or direct G license.

Most of the other forum members have stressed getting such a letter. I got it today from the Vehicles & Drivers Licensing Department in Sharjah for AED 100.

Nice to hear from that! because my driving certificate/history was already expired.. I am here in Edmonton Alberta, i'm about to give my UAE driving license + expired driving certificate/history. Hope they will accept it.

In addition, i have an international driving license. Do i still need to surrender this one?

Thanks
