As per the BC Motor Vehicle Act, the following applies:
Upon establishing residency in B.C., new British Columbians can drive on their valid out-of-province driver's licence for up to 90 days. After that time, they must obtain a B.C. driver's licence to continue to drive in the province, even if they also have an International Driving Permit.
Non-resident drivers, such as tourists and non-resident workers, can drive on their valid out-of-province driver's licence for up to 6 months from the date they last entered the province. The 6-month time period applies to all non-resident drivers, including those who may also have an international driving permit. After that time, they must hold a B.C. driver's licence to drive in the province.
Non-resident drivers who are registered as students and who are attending designated B.C. educational institutions can drive on their valid out-of-province/foreign driver’s licence and do not have to hold a B.C. driver’s licence for that period of time. This exemption applies to all out-of-province full-time students, from anywhere in the world, while at a designated B.C. institution. 作者: kevin6096 时间: 2012-8-16 15:22
