Well, I assume you are aware of the CIC requirement:
IMPORTANT AND MANDATORYlease note that all applicants who resided or still reside in: Queensland, Victoria or Western Australia, must also submit a Traffic History printout, which may be obtained by contacting the local State Transport/Traffic branch. Residents of Victoria must submit a Licence History Search which goes back to their 18th birthday or the day on which their first Victoria driver's licence was issued.

So, based on this, I assume you lived in Queensland, Victoria or WA. I just looked at the WA application form for a traffic history, and I see nothing that prevents you from obtaining it. Just because you did not have a driver's license doesn't mean you can't get one.

So, can give more detail on why you can't get one?

I lived in victoria and the online one needs driving licence which i never had?
Is there any other way to contact them to obtain the traffic history.

Please let me know.

Did you try the "Contact Us" link on their website?
http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/

The other problem with the online version that it provides only the past 5 years; CIC requires the history since you were 18 years old. (This might not be a problem is you are less than 23 years old).

But all these things require valid driving licence which i don't have it on me .

It requires a driver's license to make a telephone call?

I applied Family Class - they requested a traffic history report as I resided in VIC> I have never held a license.

I was informed that I could email a stat dec / notarized letter to affirm I have never held a license. They accepted it.

Accoring to my knowledge stat. declaration is accptable.

Hi Gally,

I reside in Queensland and I'm in a similar situation. I don't hold an Australian License. but whn I emailed Immigration dept. asking the same, thy advised me tht in addition to a Stat Dec. its better to get a letter frm ur local transport dept. stating tht I dnt hold a license.

If u have also applied for such a letter, could u plz tell me how to obtain tht letter? Is there any form? How much is the fee?

Thanks

no there is no need , just take a print out of the application form of traffic history record. attach a cover letter with it and explian in the cover letter "why can't you get your report from australia" . high lighting the field in application form wherein they say that you gotta have a licence number to get a report . i actually did that and nobody asked me for the report

Hi
I was also in the same situation, I reside in QLD and and never had an Australian License. The Immigration dept advised me to get a letter frm the QLD transport stating tht I don't hold a driving license and thr r no traffic convictions or offences against me.

I went to the deptt. of QLD transport and thy issued me 2 letters. One stating 'UNKNOWN' against the driving license and other stating tht i dnt have any traffic history.

I suggest, its better to get official letters from Transport Department.

Hello guelphmm,

I am new to this forum, but I saw that you posted a question about obtaining an Australian traffic history report without having held an driving license in Australia.

I am exactly in the same situation, and would like to know what you did to solve this issue and if you got a positive reponse from the Canadian immigration services.

Thank you in advance for your help,

Cedric

Dear Sir/Madam,
RE: TRAFFIC HISTORY PRINTOUT/DRIVING HISTORY REPORT FOR OVERSEAS VISA

Hope you can help. I lived in Melbourne for 4 years and currently live in the Canada. I am applying for overseas visa and the form states I need to produce a driving history report for time spent in Melbourne. The only problem is I do not have an Australian driver's license and therefore cannot use the online service.

I have just spoken to a consultant in the Licensing Dept. at Vic Roads and they advised me that they couldn't provide me with a report because I don't hold an Australian license and told me to mail in my details to you instead to obtain written confirmation that a report cannot be produced (due to the fact that I never held an Australian driver's license)

They asked me to provide the following details:
Timeframe living in Australia: xxxxxxxxx-xxxxx
Full Name: xxxxxxxxxx
Date of birth:XXXXXXX
Address when residing in Victoria:XXXXXXXXX

Theysent me letter
